Gmail is currently one of the main attractions for Google because it is regarded as the most efficient mail solutions against spam messages. Since its release in April 1, 2004, Gmail was available by invitation and was quite impressive because it offered 1 GB file storage size. Recently, Google made Gmail free for everyone and changed the description of the service, making it the safest email solution against unwanted messages. Today, Google encountered
new problems with its Chinese domain after the owner of Gmail.cn sustained his website is not for sale.

"Google has contacted Gmail.cn about the Web address and logo issue, but there is no progress so far," said a legal source in Shanghai familiar with the situation. It's unlike the Polish case. The Chinese company is also an Internet service provider which provides mail services, and Gmail can literally just be referring to a 1G mailbox or something like that," said the source, referring to the 1GB-sized mailbox," News.com reported.

ISM Technologies, the owner of the Gmail.cn domain, sustained their company is the largest Chinese domain registration firm but it has no intention to sell the domain to the search giant.

This is not the first time when Google encounters problems with its Gmail domains after the search giant sued Gmail.pl owners to obtain their domain because the company considers they are looking to obtain money from the search giant. The Polish poets sustained they will not offer their domain to Google because their website tries to promote anonymous authors looking for a way to publish their poems. At this time, Google tries to increase the popularity of their products in the Asian market but the company encounters a powerful offensive from the Chinese leader, Baidu.
