If you add dots (.) between the letters of your Gmail username,
sending an message to the new username will get forwarded to your
original email (which is without or with only 1 dot.) For example:
It doesn’t matter how many dots you’ll add between your username, all of the emails sent will go to your original email. Gmail provides another great explanation:
Gmail doesn’t recognize dots as characters within usernames, you can add or remove the dots from a Gmail address without changing the actual destination address; they’ll all go to your inbox, and only yours. In short:
Why is this helpful? Let’s say you want to sign up for a particular newsletter but you’re afraid of spam. Then you can modify your email with the dots so in case you start getting unwanted messages, you can use Gmail filters and send every message your ‘new’ email receives to spam directly.

this post is very informative but many websites are prohibiting the use of special characters such as dots or plus sign in email address... i suggest using http://ese.kr because they support one-day domain so you won't be denied
