r/GMail on Reddit: How to gmail addresses work?
July 10, 2023 -

I‘ve been getting occasional mails in my gmail from services that someone else signed up to with my mail because, I’m assuming, they thought that was their email or mistyped it. That’s on the service providers if they just accept anyone without email verification. It’s bad enough that I can just reset the password on the service using my email confirmation, but lately I’ve been getting mails from addresses with . in them.

If my email were mymail23 then I’m also receiving mails from my.mail23 or mymail.23 for example.

How’s that work?

Gmail does not count dots as part of an account name. That is, first.last@ is the same e-mail address as firstlast@ . This applies to both account creation and usage to send e-mail; the presence of dots in the name does not make it a different e-mail address. Gmail also ignores capitalization in account names so first.last@ is the same account as FIRST.LAST@ (or any other combination) and also does not represent different accounts. This also applies to both account creation and usage. In like manner, u/gmail .com and u/googlemail .com are also the same e-mail address and do not represent two different accounts. Fortunately Google does not allow duplicate accounts to be created, so it’s not possible (for example) to have both a first.last@ and a FirstLast@ account. There are not two accounts with the same name and no one is getting e-mail that hasn't been sent specifically to their account. More specifically, no one else is getting your e-mail because no one else has your e-mail address. If you would like to prove this to yourself, sign out of your account then sign in using a different configuration of dots in your account name (like fi.rst.la.st@), or sign out any try to create a new account with a different configuration of dots (again, like fi.rst.la.st@). That said… There is nothing to prevent people from using the wrong address when registering on a web-site, or giving out the wrong address as their own to others. This means that e-mail sent to that address would go to someone else (the actual owners of that e-mail address). E-mail you receive that was intended for someone else does not mean there is a duplicate account, merely that it was sent to the wrong person. Just to clarify, you are not receiving e-mail addressed to someone else, you are receiving e-mail intended for someone else but miss-addressed to you.
