This happens with my Gmail account.
I know periods don't count, supposedly, but I still get emails for someone with the same name as mine. My email is first.last, theirs is firstlast. I wonder how much of my stuff they get erroneously?
- __ryan__ 3y agoYou are correct that the period doesn’t count. Both email addresses belong to the same account. A possible explanation is that they have entered your email as a mistake.
- OJFord 3y agoThe full stop doesn't count. If you're successfully using 'first.last', then theirs is not 'firstlast', that is also yours, as you said yourself. Theirs is probably 'firstlaast' or something - i.e. some typo unrelated to their decision not to separate by '.'.
