My Gmail is firstname.lastname@gmail and I get mail to that account that’s not for me. Must be the other party has a middle initial they are leaving out.

I would be careful with the "." in your username as someone else with `[e-mail]` would likely get your email. I get the emails that are my ID with the "." in between.

I thought that gmail ignored the period, and would not allow registering one of those accounts if the other one already existed.

Well then, they didn't or it is relaxed now. I'm at the receiving end.

more likely some people just don't know how to write their own email address. or typos.

Pretty sure the dot is still ignored
