Who is .gmail.com?
A senders email address some how was automatically entered in my Outlook
Express address contacts. Don't know anybody by the email address
extension
.gmail.com. what ISP uses that extension?


That is not an extension, but a domain name. Not all domain names belong
to
ISPs; in fact, most don't. Many domain names belong to MSPs (or ESPs, if
you
will). The 'gmail.com' domain belongs to Google, and is use for their
email
service; they are an ESP (Email Service Provider). Others are

excite.com
lycos.com
hotmail.com
uymail.com
yahoo.com
