Please use a personal email. My email is ‘mail’ @ ‘my actual name’. It does not get more personal than that
But you can’t use emails starting with mail@, admin@, support@, info@, main@, etc.
Instead they advised me (3 times) to create a personal email on a service like Yahoo, Outlook, Gmail, Orange, etc
I wonder how they handle gmail addresses with dots as you can put dot in anywhere and it still will redirect to your email.
I’ve setup (for few services which don’t allow + sign) emails like [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] and they all come to my inbox.
IIRC Gmail interprets foo.bar, f.o.o.b.a.r and foobar as the same account (the latter).
At some point they didn’t, so I heard there are now a couple of accounts that only differ in dot and it’s not yet resolved by Google ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yep, that what I was trying to say 😄 Been using that feature for years.
I imagine because it can’t be used to add additional junk characters to the address, they probably just strip them out before doing their string comparison
If they know this case. In other email services dots are usually not a junk characters.
For the same of checking uniqueness it’s probably fine to just ignore them. Yeah, it sucks if [email protected] and [email protected] can’t sign the same petition but outside of the big email services I imagine that kind of collision is pretty rare
