I rarely check my gmail account(s) and don't care for forwarding my email to this account... alas.
To my knowledge, it isn't necessary to have a gmail account (I'd never have one, in fact).
If you go to <http://groups.google.com/>, click Sign In in the top right corner of the window, click the 'Create an account now' link, and then use your preferred E-mail address to create the account, all the Google groups mail will be sent to that address. Worked fine for me.
