The saga continues
The mixing of my email (emailnick) with those of other Nicks expands to the UK where a second email.nick has been losing messages to my inbox courtesy of Google.
See missive to Nick Burgess and his sister after receiving a scanned copy of his birth certificate:
Hello.
I’m not sure how to say this, but I think Google is somehow mixing our mail. You see, I’m emailnick@gmail.com and I’ve been receiving emails for email.nick@gmail.com – mostly from Jessops.com following an order confirmation from there sometime last year. It’s not the first time this has happened to me, either:

http://www.nicholasjsmerker.info/2010/10/14/word-from-australia/I haven’t got a clue as to what it is that Google might be getting wrong to confuse our email (and I hope it’s not a two way street – my apologies if you are getting my messages, too). Just thought you might want to be aware.
Best,
Nick
I almost immediately got a reply – as tends to happen when one sends a birth certificate and it ends up in the wrong hands by accident:
Thank you for your honesty I will let my brother know

I couldn’t make this up if I tried. Now, how exactly does one get in touch with Google about their email? I’d really prefer that my inbox not be eating the mail of every other Nick in the world.
