This comes with a small backstory: A few years ago a friend of mine tried to set up a gmail account on my computer because my computer was logged into my non-gmail google account, it added it under that account. Once I noticed, I deactivated the gmail portion on the account and continued to use it under my non-gmail login. The problem is that due to my university using gmail I've grown to love it, but when I try to set up gmail using my non-gmail account it will only allow me to use the username my friend had chosen those years before.
Is there any way to have this username removed or changed so that I can set up a gmail address under my account? I'd rather not have to deal with multiple google accounts if it can be avoided. Worst case if a username cant be changed, is there any way to migrate all google data between a non-gmail account and a new gmail account? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Gmail-Users" group.
