I forgot to post this back when I noticed it, but a little while ago I found something interesting. I loaded my Google profile, and lo and behold! What’s that in the upper right corner? It’s a list of domains where my email address has been verified. Fancy that, the option to turn them on finally showed up, and I did so. And it was good. Don’t know if my previous post on the matter had anything to do with it, but if some random Googler found my plea and fixed it.. thanks :>
