What’s up Google?

Has anyone else been having trouble with Gmail? Today Rachel got two emails delivered to her gmail account for a different Rachel Johnson. My Rachel’s email is racheljohnson@gmail… and the email she received was for rachel[something else]@gmail… Both emails were personal emails to the other Rachel, not ones where my Rachel’s email address could have been buried in a BCC or something. They were also from services my Rachel hasn’t ever used, which leads me to believe that the problem lies with Google.

    I haven’t had any trouble, but no one ever sends me email anyway.

  1. Yea, I just read about this last week, but can’t find a site with more info. Apparently G misconfigured the signup form with the actual mailserver, so if someone registered eightfivethree@gmail.com first, then they would get mail sent to eight.five.three@gmail.com, even if it was a completely seperate account.

    Somewhere on the Gmail help page there was a snippet about it but I can’t find it for the life of me.

    I don’t have Gmail but if I did I’m sure I’d have trouble with it as I do with Email.

    Hey Trav – I have a question regarding your “About” description at the top of your blog page. Do you live in Eugene OR do you live with your wife? Please clarify.
