Willkommen bei Gmail, Deutschland. It’s official: Gmail is Gmail everywhere

As a German working on the Gmail team, my friends and family back home often ask why they have a @googlemail address instead of @gmail.com. Today, I’m happy to announce that is no longer the case: Google Mail is becoming Gmail in Germany. To celebrate, we’ve created a video that explains what it’s like to Go Google in German:


All new accounts will receive an @gmail.com address and if you have an existing @googlemail.com address, you’ll soon be able to switch to @gmail.com. Once you make the change, you will still receive mail sent to your @googlemail.com address and all of your emails, contacts, and account settings will stay exactly the same. Plus, you can switch back at any time if you change your mind.

For more details, check out our FAQ. If you’re ready to make the change, over the next few weeks, a link will appear at the top when you login over the coming weeks.
