Have your wife log in while omitting the dots, using e.g. "janeqpublic" instead of "jane.q.public" as the username. She'll see there's only one account, and it's her's, and that someone just typed the wrong address. Most likely reason: gmail is so common that someone mistypes johnsm...@example.com as johnsm...@gmail.com, not paying attention to what they're doing. It happens. Nicolai
