I could understand a validation issue (or even an issue that occurred post-migration), but I do wonder what the other guy's user experience is now.
Is he still able to login? If so, what email does he see (does he see yours)? Etc. I would guess that the login routine drops all "." From the user name, since it's supposed to be superfluous, so only one password can match the username in question. All others would be denied access (you'd hope).

I can only assume it was a bug in validation at the time. From memory, people in the UK had to use @googlemail.com<http://googlemail.com> instead of @gmail.com<http://gmail.com>. I suspect it had something to do with that. But still, even before the UK could use @gmail.com<http://gmail.com>, I was still getting the email. I would have thought this would go to the top of the issue list but apparently not.

Having said that, gmail doesn't support a period in the username properly. I have a firstnamelastn...@gmail.com<mailto:firstnamelastn...@gmail.com> address and there is someone in the UK that has firstname.lastn...@gmail.com<mailto:firstname.lastn...@gmail.com>. I have been getting that other persons emails for years. This includes personal stuff like passwords, bank details, address, resume's, family photos, etc. I told google about it many times but they just insist there is nothing wrong. I told the other guy about it and I think he changed his email address but I'm still getting his personal email. David
