Maybe then what google should have done is tell Ms. Jo Edon that jo.edon@gmail (and all possible combinations of the address + dot) is already taken and therefore the issue of multiple emails will not arise.
This is a very big weakness, imho. So in the case of joe.don@gmail.com and jo.edon@gmail.com, who is the rightful recipient of emails sent to either?
I gave you guyz a perfect example, 2 people Mr. Joe Don
<joe.don@gmail.com> & Ms. Jo Edon <jo.edon@gmail.com> - 2 different
people so the fact that you relocating the dot being not good is not
sellable.
Google as a player has decided to implement this on their system, and
I do not refute that, but clearly its not right, and that is my point!
