Can i ignore dot in a mail id in gmail
In Gmail, you can ignore the dot (.) in an email address, which is known as a "dotless" or "dot-free" email address. This means that if you enter an email address with a dot, Gmail will still recognize it as valid and deliver the email to the intended recipient.
For example, if you enter [email protected]
or [email protected]
, Gmail will treat both as the same email address and deliver the email to [email protected]
.
This is because Gmail follows the rules set by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for email addresses, which state that a dot (.) can be ignored in an email address. This is known as the "dotless" or "dot-free" rule.
However, it's worth noting that not all email providers or systems may follow this rule, so it's always a good idea to use the original email address with the dot (.) if you're unsure.
Additionally, if you're using Gmail's auto-complete feature, you can also use the dotless version of an email address, and Gmail will still suggest the correct email address with the dot (.) as you type.
