Non-Google Gmail - ProNet Analytics
A small company in the United Kingdom,
ProNet Analytics, a subsidiary of The
Market Age, claims they have trademarked
the name "Gmail" and according to them,
they have have been using it for their
email service since 2002 (from EarthV.com)
Non-Google Gmail - UseGmail.com
Another Web site is using the name "Gmail" for a
product that is not the Google Gmail service:
UseGmail.com.
But uhhhh... when I do a "whois" lookup that domain is
owned by Google! I'm wondering if this product has
*always* been owned by Google or (as I suspect)
Google took over owning the domain name UseGmail.com
at some point....
