gmail account problem

[eduard.coscodan]

y. i had a g mail adress "eduardcoscodan" and i have deleted the
accoun to make another one as "eduard.coscodan" , but the adress was
not available wich is odd as this name is not a comone one ... but then
i tryed to remake the old one "eduardcoscodan" but i can't . i don't
understand as if i try to send a maill to the adresses
("eduardcoscodan@gmail and eduard.coscodan@gmail ) i recive a deliveri
status that these 2 adresses do not exist.... i allready made a google
acount for both these names but i can't make a gmail adress ... if you
know how i can remediate the problem..please contact me

It is simple. "eduardcoscodan" and "eduard.coscodan" are the same
name. Gmail doesn't recognize the presense of dots in a name, except
in the login process. So prior to you deleting your account, mail
sent to "eduard.coscodan@g..." would have gotten to you in the
"eduardcoscodan" login.

If you want to create the account "eduard.coscodan" you'll have to
wait the approx 9 months Google is waiting to release the name again.
Alternately you could try to get "eduardcoscodan" re-activated, but
change your reply-to address to "eduard.coscodan" and have everyone
list that.

how do you change your reply-to address in the gmail webmail interface?

Hi Hex,

 

Click on "settings", then "accounts" then "edit info" next to the email alias address that you want to specify a new reply to address.  A dialog box will pop up.

Ironically you deleted the very account you were trying to obtain.  Emails sent to eduard.coscodan would have been received at your old email address just fine.  Now both forms are retired to the black hole of deleted accounts.

This happens with any email account.  The server will never accept a old name for reuse and also the other name you have tried is the same as your yahoo mail address, that is why it is not accepting it. Try again with a different name maybe coscodo...@gmail.com or so..... you use the options available to create new account by suggesting a different name
