Yes. Gmail allows you to put a dot anywhere in your address. So could be john.smith or jo.hnsmith They all go to the same place.
Yup Funnily enough I tried to test it and someone already uses that as an email. added: ahhhh I didn't realize that was the reason From now on when I have to give an email over the phone and I want to annoy someone I will say:
It means you can easily create rules for your email. For example john.smith would go to once folder (tag) and jo.hnsmith goes somewhere else.
thanks.i rarely send an email.i thought it was weird that the address had a dot com. never used gmail,but my yahoo address has a Underscore. edit:does yahoo allow dots?
