Did you ever use Google Wave?

There's some funky disconnectedness between wave and gmail addressing if
you use different account names, which I did.

I didn't experience your exact issue, but that might be a start...

OK, this seems very weird to me.  For some time, mail addressed to
[email protected] has been delivered to my [email protected]
mailbox.
I thought, at some point, I created the chouseman mailbox and configured
forwarding.  But I couldn't sign in to Google with the chouseman address
and
no attempts to use their automatic password reset worked.   About 3
months
ago I went the distance trying to reset the password, using the last
resort method several times.  Each time I received an automatic message
telling me I should be able to access the account, but of course, I
never could.

And then today this comes in:

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]

Subject: Google Username Assistance

We searched our database but we were unable to find any usernames
associated with your email address [email protected].

<snipped instructions for accessing my account, which apparently doesn't
exist>
----------------------------

So the takeaway from that message is what, exactly?  There's no
username, therefore there is no account associated with
[email protected]?  And nonetheless, I have to keep receiving e-mail
for that address?  I don't see where a Google account can have multiple
e-mail addresses tied to it as Exchange can, but apparently that's what
has happened?

It's crap like this that will keep me from ever recommending cloud
services from Google.
