I set up the account well over a year ago, but as far as I can
remember, I may have made the username KuriKokku. Maybe it's taken
only the first letter for some reason?

As for the Gmail solution you offered, gmail shows it in all lowercase
already, so that wouldn't change anything. I tried, just in case, with
no avail. Thanks, though!

It's only on about half of Google's services that the first letter is
capitalized, so that's what bothers me the most.
