@Kibui, I actually always "do something about them" - depending on how important the content is. I strive to contact both the sender and the recipient to notify them on the anomaly. I've even gotten some threats in the process - by being told to read the stupid disclaimers that accompany the e-mails:) On Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 09:01, Thomas Kibui <thomas.kibui@gmail.com> wrote:
Washington,
Its unfortunate that you received someone else email .. You should probably do something about it ..
Have you thought of the converse .. he/she is also receiving YOUR emails ..

Now this makes some sense to me. I think Google strips off everything before the dot and uses the remaining part of the prefix. I have always received e-mails addressed to *.odhiambo@gmail.com and always wondered.
Are you certain? I think they only strip off the . which I think is acceptable - it is factored in when checking for available names.

Google should be sued - only by those who pay for the e-mail services. For the free service users, I doubt anyone stands a chance.

Doesn't make sense to me - if you breaking RFC's - how come you say Goggle App's do recognize the dot and mail shouldn't because someone can masquerade as you on mail but not on apps? Re-writing rules simple because you have a challenge on implementing it, which I think is the case here, is not right for the whole universe!
