i google

I have i google as my homepage.

have recently changed my e mail address to g mail but when I try and change in settings on my i google account I get message saying

Sorry, a Gmail address is not allowed to be the primary address of this account.

I am not going to have my old e mail address much longer - how do I keep my i google then?

    [EMAIL="yourname@gmail.com"][yourname]@gmail.com[/EMAIL] or [[EMAIL="yourname@googlemail.com"]yourname]@googlemail.com[/EMAIL] will both work, you'll receive mail addressed to both, so just enter it as '@googlemail' for to overcome the problem.
  • they are both interchangeable
