I don't know if this is a "feature" or a "bug", but either way, it's disquieting my wife. (Unhappy wife = unhappy life.)
Have your wife log in while omitting the dots, using e.g. "janeqpublic" instead of "jane.q.public" as the username. She'll see there's only one account, and it's her's, and that someone just typed the wrong address. Most likely reason: gmail is so common that someone mistypes johnsmith@example.com as johnsmith@gmail.com, not paying attention to what they're doing. It happens. Nicolai
