Adding to what Ruben said, Google has implemented a very clever way to treat the "dot" issue in email addresses on Gmail. Here is a note in the help page at: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=10313
Gmail doesn't recognize dots as characters within usernames, you can add or > remove the dots from a Gmail address without changing the actual destination > address; they'll all go to your inbox, and only yours. In short: - [email protected] = [email protected] - [email protected] = [email protected] - [email protected] = [email protected] All these addresses belong to the same person. You can see this if you try to sign in with your username, but adding or removing a dot from it. You'll still go to your account. Do note that this is only true for Gmail addresses. If you are using Google Apps for Domain, then the dots are enforced, here is what the help has to say about this: > One last thing: Google Apps does recognize dots. If you'd like to have a > dot in your username, please ask your domain administrator to add your > preferred username as a nickname.
