If you read this help:
http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=58582&topic=10466
it tells that you can't merge two accounts.

This help:
http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=32046&ctx=sibling
it warns "If you delete your Google Account: <cut> * If the account is
also a Gmail account, you'll no longer be able to access that email.
You'll also be unable to reuse your Gmail username."

[The Trekkie]

I didn't even know it was possible to delete a Gmail account. Have you
tried signing back in again?

[newpharaoh21]

yes Zack it's my falt. But is this mean that the user name is in use
by nobody..??!!
and thank you Trekkie for your advice. but it doesn't work.
I hope someone can help me to get my username back.

Pretty much, that user name is now in use by no one and there is no way for you to get it back.  GMail states that they do not recycle user names, so you are out of luck.  Sorry to be another bearer of bad news :(

[Zack (Doc)]

The username I want is not available
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=66278&topic=1505

According to that link, it doesn't have to be currently in use to be
not available. It also sounds like they will not allow the username
to be ever used again.

This link: <http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=6563&topic=1505>
says "we can't guarantee that your username will be made available
again", which sounds like it MIGHT become available again, but they're
making no promises.

It sounds like no one will be able to help you get your old username
again. Definitely not anyone in this user's group. Perhaps if you
submit a bug report to Google through the bug report web page you can
get a real person who can reactivate it for you.

yahoo mail is the same way.  A couple of years ago I deleted my libraryguy4 account.  I want it back, and can't get it.

[newpharaoh21]

Thank you for everyone. You are very kind. Finally I guess I have to
choose another username.

[Melvin]

I wonder how that happend?

[Nick Chirchirillo]

How what happened?  The GMail account got deleted?  Newpharaoh was pretty clear in saying that they deleted it.

[Client (Sharaph)]

Hi,,,
How about new user name ... yourOldUserName[.X]@gmail.com
[.X] is dot followed by a Number

[Nick Chirchirillo]

If you go with that, I would suggest against the dot.  I personally don't like dots in email addresses, but GMail will disregard them when seeing who the email is for (IE user...@gmail.com and user.name@gmail will be sent to the same person).  The only thing the dot is for with GMail is as a user name.  If you sign up with the dot, you have to login with the dot.  If you don't, GMail will say the user doesn't exist.

[Client (Sharaph)]

Hi,,, Nick ...

Same here, but it is a matter of preference, not to mention that most
of organizations now days are using it " The Dot "
So you may say it the Pros approach! or a touch of Prestige :-)

But as I said it is subject to your first choice. (any one choice:-)

Clarification please

Let us say
our friend John Smith received an invitation - and signed
up for a Gmail account John...@gmail.com (and lucky him - he got
it!)
Now in the other side of the world or maybe next door to him there are
other John Smiths and they want to register for the same Gmail user
login account! And found out it is not available.

Can any one sign up for a John....@gmail.com account?

Also smit...@gmail.com is taken by one of the JSs

[Nick Chirchirillo]

No, no one will be able to sign up for it.  

Say you sign up for user...@gmail.com (with a dot),

Mail sent to user.name@gmail will be sent to you
Mail sent to user...@gmail.com will be sent to you
You can log in as user...@gmail.com
You can NOT log in as user...@gmail.com
No one else can sign up for any other email address with "username" and any combination of dots.

This should be able to explain it as well.
Why am I receiving someone else's email?

Thanks I wish if have known that, I wouldn't use it in my Gmail.

I've notice in some instances receiving email messages which
are not meant for me. Now recall that... There was No "Dot".
