My Gmail address is john.doe@gmail.com
. I am thinking about removing the dot and use johndoe@gmail.com
as my primary mail address. I know that I already receive mails which are addressed to johndoe@gmail.com
since Gmail ignores the dots. Still, I want my primary address to be johndoe@gmail.com
, meaning that my outgoing mail should be seen as being sent by johndoe@gmail.com
.
I know that there is the setting "send mail as" where I can configure a secondary email address as johndoe@gmail.com
, but this does not satisfy me since in the email source code there will be the fields "return-path" and "sender" which still hold john.doe@gmail.com
. I would like to be able to send mails without john.doe@gmail.com
appearing in the source code of sent mail.
I think this can only be achieved by changing my primary mail-address from john.doe@gmail.com
to johndoe@gmail.com
. Since I cannot register a new Gmail address with my preferred name, because Gmail ignores dots, I do not know how to do this.
