Thank you Barry! Now I know what the problem is. When I registered this Gmail account I was in Germany, where there are legal issues between Google and one guy over the "Gmail" name. So, if you want to register a Gmail account from a German IP address, Google gives you an email with "@googlemail.com" ending.
And Google App Engine refuses to create an App with your Gmail ID (or better said GoogleMail ID) if you have a "@googlemail.com" email. And this IS A REALLY ANNOYING BUG! Virtually most of the German and UK Gmail users are stripped the right to take their Gmail ID as their AppEngine application name. GOOGLE PLEASE FIX IT! And as far as I know, we, users with "@googlemail.com" addresses, can do nothing to make it work with GAE, as we are not able to choose between "@gmail.com" and "@googlemail.com" as our primary address or switch to "@gmail.com" at all. Can I report it somewhere as a bug? Do GAE developers have a public bug tracking system as e.g. Android?
