Huh, has Google said anything about the naming similarity between GPGMail and Gmail? Edit: Sorry HN for not knowing something that you know and asking a question about it.

GPGMail predates Gmail by three years.

  Not (initially) in the online domain, but I know of significantly sized, well established U.S. institution that was using "Gmail" (yes, exactly that term) publicly and in promotional materials including particularly mailings... oh, probably a good decade before Google.

    Nobody sane would think GPGMail is infringing on Gmail in any shape or form.

    Google wasn't really first to use 'gmail' anywhere - http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/pda/2010/may/04/digital-media-google http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/pda/2010/may/04/digital-medi...
