OK, this seems very weird to me. For some time, mail addressed to chouse...@gmail.com has been delivered to my c.house...@gmail.com mailbox. I thought, at some point, I created the chouseman mailbox and configured forwarding. But I couldn't sign in to Google with the chouseman address and no attempts to use their automatic password reset worked. About 3 months ago I went the distance trying to reset the password, using the last resort method several times. Each time I received an automatic message telling me I should be able to access the account, but of course, I never could.
And then today this comes in: ---------------------------- From: accounts-nore...@google.com [mailto:accounts-nore...@google.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 10, 2010 3:55 PM To: chouse...@gmail.com Subject: Google Username Assistance We searched our database but we were unable to find any usernames associated with your email address chouse...@gmail.com. <snipped instructions for accessing my account, which apparently doesn't exist> ---------------------------- So the takeaway from that message is what, exactly? There's no username, therefore there is no account associated with chouse...@gmail.com? And nonetheless, I have to keep receiving e-mail for that address? I don't see where a Google account can have multiple e-mail addresses tied to it as Exchange can, but apparently that's what has happened? It's crap like this that will keep me from ever recommending cloud services from Google.
