Google clarifies how dots don’t matter in Gmail addresses: What it means for users

Emails sent to addresses with or without dots will still reach the same inbox. According to Google’s support page, adding or removing dots from a Gmail address doesn’t change the address. While this might seem confusing, on a support page, Google has clarified that dots are essentially ignored when processing Gmail addresses. This feature can be useful for creating variations of an email address for different purposes, such as filtering emails or signing up for services while protecting your primary address. This flexibility is a unique feature of Gmail and can help manage your inbox and online identity.
