Gmail has a serious problem about the possibility of creating new email addresses.I was not able to create a name.surname account for the last three people I helped in the creation of an email address.I think that the problems are two:Gmail does not distinguish between name.surname and namesurnamemany users have activated the address to access the services AndroidDo you know if after a period of non-use usernames return available for Gmail?
No more username available in Gmail?
gmail;google account
Do you know if after a period of non-use usernames return available  for Gmail?No, they do not.    And some Google services (e.g., Blogger) have promised that this will not happen.However I do not see that there is a problem:   we are not running out of numbers, so it will always be possible to get   name.surnameNNN accounts, although NNN will become increasingly large.
