Related oddness: if you're British and a GMail user, you either got a
gmail.com username before the lawsuit, or you got a googlemail.com
between the lawsuit and the point when Google and the owner of the
"gmail" trademark settled, or then you got a gmail.com again.

Gmail will strip out periods. So it's not like there was some OTHER email
address that your wife is suddenly getting. There is only her address. Dots
or No Dots. Your wife's email address IS THE SAME as the dotless-version.

Set up a filter in the GMAIL console to match (pun intended) the "Match"

delete them though. You might have a gold mine there. Think of the
