I don't know if this is relevant or useful to you case, or if it still works at all, but there was a way to link an existing gmail to a new google account. Here is a quote from a Feb 13 post on some long buried thread:
"The exploit for G-mail is easy. I just did it to get my old mule account back [I had given everything away when I RQ'd Windia]. You don't even need your password, just the account.
Make a Google Account and enter your G-Mail into the E-Mail field. It'll bind your new Google Account and existing G-Mail together and give you full control. No questions asked. I'd recommend all of you bind any G-mail linked accounts to a Google Account.
Chances are your accounts are already all set-up with a google account if you use multiple google services, though. An e-mail that was made through the gmail page and never touched is up for grabs. You can make a Google Account here. "
