For example, my e-mail address is firstname.lastname@gmail.com. That's how I registered it when I signed up for the Gmail account. Therefore, that is not the same as FirstnameLastname@gmail.com. Would I be allowed to register with my e-mail address or not?

But I think (maybe I am wrong) what Nick is asking is those 2 emails are not the same? Right? I registered my email the same way first.last@gmail.com so you are telling me firstlast@gmail.com is the same email address? So I can register with firstlast@gmail.com and that email will go to first.last@gmail.com? For some reason that doesn't seem right to me...

Or am I being daft? lol
