No Gmail in Germany

I already knew that Google couldn’t use the Gmail brand in Germany:

Gmail - Google Chrome

The only problem is that I’m at our Paris school right now, nowhere near Germany.

From a user experience point of view, though, the message is even more disturbing in another way. It says that I have to visit http://mail.google.com, but that’s what my address bar is showing!

I know what’s going on, but most people won’t. I guess that’s why regular users have a little trouble adopting Gmail (in my experience anyway), the service is still very tech-savvy oriented.
