mail.google.com — Gmail doesn't recognize dots (.) as characters within a username. This way, you can add and remove dots to your username for desired address variations. Messages sent to your.username@gmail.com and y.o.u.r.u.s.e.r.n.a.m.e@gmail.com are delivered to the same inbox, since the characters in the username are the same.

I have always found this to be an annoyance. Someone has the same Gmail address as me with a dot, so I always get a copy of that guy's e-mails, which is a privacy issue for him. He's lucky I don't care enough to read them.

Ditto, only in my case I'm the guy with the dot and I get his email. Annoying.

Here's another trick append your email name with a plus sign (+) and then you can add any word you want. name@gmail.comname+digg@gmail.comYou can set up a filter to act on that email address.Some forms won't accept this because they think that a plus sign is not valid in an email address.
