I > investigated further and found that UK customers can't get an > account with a 'gmail.com' suffix, we have to put up with > 'googlemail.com', which is a bit clumsy. > > Anyway, thanks for all your help. I'll try out Gmail in the short > term, whilst I investigate my own domain name - it would be a > good way to share photos/files/trees with my collaborators. > > Regards, John
