someone else already had that name. ; I know. ; It was me. &nbsp;I then had to
register with a different name. ; gmail.com">bernard.rbtr8rgmail.com. &nbsp;When I go
to Settings/Account both rbtr8r and bernard.rbtr8r are there with
rbtr8r, my preferene, noted as "unverified.&quot; &nbsp;I have tried clicking on
"verify,&quot; going to gmail help and doing whatever they suggested,
changing my "from" address to rbtr8r, etc.  No matter what I do, I
cannot obtain rbtr8r as my name of preference. &nbsp;If anyone encountered a
similar problem, I would be interested in how it was remedied.&nbsp; Thanks.
