Comment on Ask HN: GMail Username Issue

Comments

Long thread on the issue: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=2d9f3...

Short Story: There's been an 'urban legend' that people from the early gmail invite days could register the same email, the only difference being dots. The more likely scenario is that he's filling in the wrong email on web forms, it's emailing you, and it's not emailing him at all. He doesn't have access to the email.

Is there anything that proves he also has access to a dot-version of the email account? You being sent emails from banks only proves that he's filling that email into a form, not that he has access to the account.
