A gmail id and a google account is the same thing, despite the names. You simply activate the full thing or not.
I think Google want's everybody to believe that, so they can make the whole bloody world even more dependent of their monstrous company. But it's BS. My username for my Google account (phone, webmasters support, G+, etc.) is [something]@tekstbaken.nl.
Yes, you can get a google account with a different email address - but you do get a corresponding gmail folder as well, typically forwarded to your given address. I have that with my ieee.org address, it is handled by google now. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
