All gmail addresses are reserved as app engine ids. Possbly someone
has it in gmail?

Try emailing b4l4...@gmail.com and see if they want to let you use it?

This should help answer your query..

Gmail doesn't recognize dots as characters within usernames, you can add or remove the dots from a Gmail address without changing the actual destination address; they'll all go to your inbox, and only yours. In short:

homerj...@gmail.com = hom.er.j....@gmail.com

homerj...@gmail.com = HOMERJ...@gmail.com

homerj...@gmail.com = Homer.J...@gmail.com

Thanks so far. Could you or someone else perhaps answer my next
relevant question?

In that case, how are illegal characters (for app identifiers) in the
e-mailbox's public identifiers (characters preceding the @) are
handled when it's automatically used as an appengine app identifier?
For example nick...@gmail.com for which the dot (.) is an illegal
character for an App Identifier.
