Dots don't matter in Gmail addresses
I have been getting financial emails from several people for many years at my GMail ID. They apparently have given my address but without the dot.<p>But what mystifies me is how these people keep going for years without ever realising they aren't getting account transaction emails (from their banks), notifications of stock trades, even OTP emails etc. How is it possible for people to use these services for years without ever wondering <i>why</i> they aren't getting the routine emails they're supposed to get or even why they aren't getting the OTP email they had generated?<p>Also none of the institutions I contacted to ask their clients to update their correct email bothered to do so. On the contrary they sent me back what looked like automated replies asking if their customer service was satisfactory.<p>At this point I'm sorely tempted to delete my email and start over with another service provider. The nuisance of having to delete almost a dozen emails not meant for you every single day is annoying to say the least. At least with spam you get it sent to spam folder and there it stays. Confidential emails not meant for you is awkward and uncomfortable to have to put up with.
