Huh.... I did not know that. I just tested it (I have a dot in mine) from another email and it went through. That was new to me.Quote:

I have my real name as a Gmail address. There's a lawyer in Georgia with my name and sometimes I get emailed Court docs. Lol
I think it was mostly POP accounts hosted by the ISPs, who used your email address as a form of customer captivity.Quote:

Speaking of the name thing, I’m ready to ditch my primary gmail.
About five years ago three dumb folks in India and Indonesia and one in California started typing in my name instead of their actual email and I get bank statements, instagrams, flight reservations etc.
Half tempted to fuck with them, but I’m not that mean.

Gmail app has gone to shit imo
I was using my full name with my old yahoo email account. I have the same name as a notable local political writer and I received death threats, I was a middle schooler iirc. Got a pretty sweet tour of the Boston Globe facility outta it. Perhaps this discussion belongs in the million dollar ideas thread.Quote:

That was before they invented DNA.
Holy crap! I had some local internet provider email like you guys are talking about, the ones where you are held hostage. But the holy crap is because I think this walk down memory lane just reminded me of my old login name to TGR that I abandoned when I lost it years ago, before I came back.Quote:

I still have two burner Juno accounts whose passwords I have long forgotten. It might be interesting to see what crap has piled up in the inboxes over the years.
