Do you use GMAIL? If so, you need to know this!

yes, it ignores . but it let you create accounts, that is the issue, we know it sends the email to ALL emails with and without the dots (".")....

No, it is not Google letting you create accounts. I just tried creating versions of my addresses and nothing was allowed. I got this message: Someone already has that username. Note that we ignore periods and capitalization in usernames. Try another?

Instead Websites and services allow creating different accounts using the same e-mail, but with dots placed on different places.

Ideally a Website should strip down the dots and check whether there is already a [email protected] when someone tries to create account with [email protected].
