  3. ever since signing up with gmail on Slashdot Asks: Have You Ever Gotten Someone Else's Email? (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

  6. I've had to dael with this for years on Ask Slashdot: Someone Else Is Using My Email Address · · Score: 1

    Google states that firstnamelastname@gmail, and firstname.lastname@gmail.com, first.name.last.name@gmail.com are all the same address but this is simply not true.

    i use firstname.middleinitial.lastname@gmail.com as my address, there is another person in Connecticut who uses firstnamemiddleinitiallastname@gmail.com and a third user in the UK with firstnamemiddleinitial.lastname@gmail.com and for the last several years we have basically been sharing the account between the three of us.

    any punctuation in the username is ignored, any one of us can change the password and yet the other two can still log in with the password of their choice.

    we have just gone to using separate folders for each of us and we've agreed to not pry into any personal messages we receive.

    google denies this can happen even though all 3 of us have been in a conference call at the same time talking to googles techs.
