I signed up years ago with a dot in my username, before I knew this. Folks can reach me sans dot, but my username still has the dot (so, outgoing mail does too)

I signed up years ago with a dot in my username, before I knew this. Folks can reach me sans dot, but my username still has the dot (so, outgoing mail does too). It bothers me a lot!
If there is a Googler reading this with the power to remove the dot from my username, please email me (with or without the dot) :)
- jeffbee 6y agoYou misunderstand the article. Your username has no dots, and dots are allowed but ignored when your username is referenced (when logging in, when receiving messages, etc). Nobody can remove the dots from your username because they aren't there in the first place. If you just want a different number of dots in your outbound mails, go to the gmail settings and add a new presentation under "Send mail as ..." and set it as the default.
- cmckn 6y ago> add a new presentation under "Send mail as ..." and set it as the default. That's what I needed -- thanks! The dot still shows in my Gmail profile, and it's not possible to remove the "Send mail as..." address with the dot; which is odd. But yes I'm also able to log in without the dot.
