I have to disagree, for most other email providers, this would work, however gmail this is a unique issue. Since gmail doesn't consider a dot, then by all accounts it shouldn't be considered on the application/site side as well.
Checking would short-circuit this, and simply not allow a signup at all.
- stephenr 3y agoIf the app/site requires a user to click a verification link before using an email address, how the mail provider handles the local part is irrelevant. The user can either access the email because they used an address they "own" or they can't. It also solves a whole bunch of other issues all at once (typos, unsolicited signups, etc).
