Hi Okech, What GMail are saying is that both address (with and without the dot) are mapped to your account. You can sign in to your account using any of the following: signmein@gmail.com sign.me.in@gmail.com signme.in@gmail.com sign.mein@gmail.com All above point to signmein@gmail.com On Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 2:34 PM, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:
All,
I have just received an email meant for someone else only difference between my address is a dot (.) character and Google insists its my address, and upon further check, I come across this articled - https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=mail&answer=10313# Google expressedly says they do not recognize the dot (.) character in any email address - Isn't this trying to re-write the rules that govern mail transmissions as covered in the RFC's, which specifically allows the dot (.) as a legitimate character?
