What is the "to" address you see in the mail header? Do you see x- forwarded-for in the header ?. The best you can do right now is to setup a filter. I know may not be a solution but why confuse yourself whether the mail is sent to you or not

Hi nitesh,

You can check following link.

http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=10313&ctx=rosetta&rd=1 

it says :

Gmail doesn't recognize dots as characters within usernames, you can add or remove the dots from a Gmail address without changing the actual destination address; they'll all go to your inbox, and only yours. In short:

• homerj...@gmail.com = hom.er.j....@gmail.com
• homerj...@gmail.com = HOMERJ...@gmail.com
• homerj...@gmail.com = Homer.J...@gmail.com

Regards,

Anup

already had a look to this and tried .

[nitesh jain]

Mine is : nites...@gmail.com 

His is : nites...@gmail.com 

He can cant and even why should i change .

[Abhishek Patel]

Yes. That is a "feature"(???) in gmail...
Emails to a...@gmail.com would go to a...@gmail.com

Gmail doesn't recognize or differentiate the '.'
So niteshnitu or nitesh.nitu or n.i.t.e.s.h.nitu are all one and the same.
But you are required to mention it in the correct position while logging into any of its services.

Nitesh stop worrying about this and wait for some info you get by which you can contact the person like his telephone bill or something like that. This is done by some idiot who "thinks" his id is "nites...@gmail.com"
Once you get his other contact info, tell him about his mistake.

I do get a lot of such email, even bank account statements, passwords & telephone bills. Have got in touch with bank & telecom operator and in most of the cases they have fixed the things. Called one of the person the person once, even that works :)

In my case the person refused to believe me that he had entered the wrong email id! He accused me of hacking his account. So I still receieve his telephone bills, bank statements etc. A simple filter to junk on name has worked so far.

Hi,

try using googlemail.com instead of gmail.com
Not sure if both work the same way but worth trying if those domain policies/rules are different.

This is interesting!

According to Google (http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=10313), they do not recognize usernames with a dot. So Googlogically, a...@gmail.com is the same as a...@gmail.com.

They also say that Google for apps DOES recognize dots, but I don't see how that is significant here, since both the email addresses are on the gmail domain. IMHO and from the ramblings I have read elsewhere on the Internet (http://bit.ly/JCNNaK), this is not a unique problem and multiple people face this issue, especially if you have created your account before Jan 2005 where *many people believe* that Google allowed the creation of unique email accounts as a...@gmail.com and a...@gmail.com.

The best you can do is what Rohit said, get in touch with the person via his phone number (which I am assuming would be in one of the emails you received) and explain this to him. I cannot comment on how ethical this would be however :D

The dot trick in gmail username has been abused creatively for long
and also known issues for quite sometime.

For the people using googlemail.com. There is a bit of a history to
this. A five year trademark dispute meant that Google was not allowed
to use the name Gmail in the UK. And now that this is resolved Google
can now use Gmail even in UK.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10096107

If you have email address as a...@gmail.com, a...@googlemail.com will also work.
