If i delete my account, can i create another with same name, but with dot in another place?

[Alexander Osmanov]

Hi,

I need dot to be in another place of my email. Service I send email
to uses not the email provided by me, but email I write from, and the
dot must be in another place there for it to be considered valid.

So, if i delete my existing one and create another with dot in another
place, will that be ok?

No.  GMail considers all variations of dots or no-dots to be the same name, so if you delete it, you delete it all.  You can tell the system sending mail to you to put the dot in another place, or not at all, it will still get to you.  The only place the dot is actually significant is when you sign in, it must be where you created the account.

Adding to what Zack wrote ...

People can send you emails with or without dots anywhere within the account
name. So you can tell them to use whatever version you prefer.

For sending emails, you have two options.

To send emails from within Gmail, go to Settings > Accounts and add another
account with the dots where you want them. Then you can send emails that
come addressed from the altered account name.

If you use an email client program (Thunderbird, Outlook or Outlook Express,
etc.), many of them allow you to specify a different account name for sent
emails.

But if I delete an account, will I be able to create new one
afterwards with the same name but with dot in another place, or no dot
at all?

No.  Google has no official policy to re-issuing names, and I've only ever heard of one case where it MIGHT have actually happened.
