It seems it is impossible to test this functionality from the email account itself. I just tested this from a second gmail address, and this seems to work. Doesn't directly make sense to me why it wouldn't work from the address itself, but there you go.
conclusion : functionality seems to be as documented in gmail help, for me at least
Tank you very much. This explains the tests I did which got me worried... you need to test from an external account (tested myself with a second gmail one).
Yep, but some experimenting also revealed that the google help entry seems incorrect : when dropping the period from my username, the mail did not arrive in the mailbox of my account that contains the period.
Kinda makes me wonder if someone else now received my test mails:/
In my understanding, this is how the card works. The sections on the chips containing data used for 3rd party applications are totally seperated by the chip design, and allow linking using a unique identifier simply stored in these sections.
Don't take my word for it though, I don't have one yet, nor will I be able to check how it works when I get it.
The government secretary that is responsible stated on TV that is was an aditional optional layer of identification. Also, they are investigating how to handle children that are not issued an ID yet (in Belgium, ID cards are issued at age 12). One possibility is a seperate type of "chat-card" or using the card from the parents to authorize access to certain chats.
