Google Mail won't let me use unused name.
Hi 'yall, long question but I don't know where else to ask. I have left my old isp, Charter.com, and moved to Verizon FiOS. Verizon no longer has it's own email servers. They've farmed it out to AOL. The AOL email is nothing but webmail. So, I figured the hell with it, I'll just use Google. But...when I try to start an account under a particular name, Google tells me that name is already in use. But...when I send an email to that name, it bounces, saying the account doesn't exist. How can I find out what is going on? Google doesn't seem to offer help. Sorry if this is an inappropriate question for this forum.
