I registered 'sai.ganesh@gmail.com' when GMail was in the invite stages. And a few months later, I started noticing these other emails that are being sent to 'saiganesh@gmail.com'. I ignored those, and slowly over time, all my Google stuff have been associated with this email address, and I'm getting password reset emails, almost every week lately :( Hence, this request.

Just set up a filter to move any email send to joenone to a special folder (tag) and look at it once in a while.
I set up an email with a dot in it early on as well, but I can still access my account without the dot and get emails for that as well.

As others have stated the problem is that someone thinks their address is saiganesh@gmail.com when it really isn't but they use it anyway.

If you can find another way to contact this other person you might try it to tell him that his email is not what he thinks it is.
