Well, as I'm sure you already know, you've always been able to give @gmail.com as your email address and it would arrive OK. But if you want your outgoing address to be @gmail, this help page gives more info: https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=159001 It says: If you're in the UK and would like to change your @googlemail.com address to @gmail.com, just click "switch to @gmail.com" in the "Accounts" tab under Gmail Settings (this link will only show up if you're eligible to change your address). Change your address now. It links to https://mail.google.com/mail/#settings/accounts Hope this helps.
