    Correct, Gmail essentially doesn’t “see” dots hello@gmail is the same as h.e.l.l.o@gmail

    hello+anything@gmail will also be delivered to hello@gmail. This is great for signing up for mailing lists or subscriptions then creating a filter afterwards to do with it what you please.

      There’s one exception to that. If you originally created the email address with a dot in it, as in, signed up for gmail as “[email protected],” it’s treated as a literal character in the username portion and is required.
