If Gmail was a 'piece of cake' then the Gmail address must be OK.

I choose my name seperated by a period.

This is a nuisance. I suggest you get your own domain ...
maybe $20 for 10 years ...go through this mess once ... 
and never do it again...

I notice that many of the free services ..such as excite, yahoo 
and hotmail ... need a pointer to an established e-mail account.
Use caution ... revisit *all* your 'free' accounts to make sure that
they are connected to yout 'base' email account.
