Am I receiving someone else's email?
Gmail doesn't recognize dots (.) as characters within a username. This way, you can add and remove dots to your username for desired address variations. messages sent to your.username@gmail.com and y.o.u.r.u.s.e.r.n.a.m.e@gmail.com are delivered to the same inbox, since the characters in the username are the same.
Keep in mind that hyphens (-) and underscores (_) can't be used in a Gmail address. Also, usernames are case insensitive, so it doesn't matter if you enter upper case or lower case letters.
If you created your account with a dot in your username and you wish you hadn't, you can change your 'Reply-to address.' To change your reply-to address:
1. Click 'Settings' at the top of any Gmail page.
2. Enter your username@gmail.com without a dot in the 'Reply-to address' field.
3. Click 'Save Changes.'
When you log in to Gmail, you need to enter any dots that were originally defined as part of your username.

Why am I receiving someone else's email?
You aren't really. If you receive a message that is addressed to a variation of your email address, it might seem like you are getting someone else's mail, but we promise you aren't.
Gmail doesn't recognize dots (.) as characters within usernames, so you can add and remove them, creating many email address variations.
For example, messages sent to GoogleAmy@gmail.com and Google.Amy@gmail.com are delivered to the same inbox.
For your protection, you can't log in to your account using a variation of your address - you'll need to enter the exact username you used to create your account. If you entered dots as part of your username when you signed up for Gmail, please enter them each time you log in to your account.
If you believe that a message was accidentally sent to you, you may want to contact the sender to inform him or her of an incorrect address.
straszne jest to bo gdybym mial swoją poczte o adresie np: to.jest.przyklad@gmail.com i ktos założyłby sobie adres: tojestprzyklad@gmail.com to ten ktos zacząłby otrzymywac moje maile!!!! gratuluje google za ten szczegół...
