WWYD- Getting someone elses emails? (LIGHTHEARTED!!!!)

I had a load of rsvps to a wedding once

As someone with a firstnameintitialsurname email address, I try so hard. I put my initial in caps or verbally tell people not to miss the initial when giving them my email address. It doesn't work. People don't want to put that initial in there. I don't think it's the owner of the email address's fault, I think people are unable to read properly or remember.

I would just delete and ignore or block. I wouldn't expect you to go out of your way to tell me.

I am changing my name later this year and am going to use it as an excuse to get an new email address that people can't muck up!

I have one of these too! Mine lives in Philadelphia and I think must miss choir practice a lot because they keep reverting back to using my email address even though I've pointed out the error.

I also have 'the other me' - a woman with exactly the same very unusual name. Unfortunately she's an aspiring glamour model and even more unfortunately she likes to pose with her hair over her face and we're both brunettes... The top results for our name on Google are all me (as I said, unusual name) scattered with these raunchy pictures of her...

Can you either block it so they bounce back or do some auto-rule? Although given she's actively ignored you I'd probably just block and delete

I have a US army veteran having his college timetables and acceptances and grades sent to me for about 5 years now. Nothing I can do about it the emails all come from an unattended email addy.

You have her email address? Just forward emails to her?

I have this on 2 different gmail accounts. The first one was a woman with a very similar name who worked as a producer at a major radio station. I let her know but kept occassionally receiving emails addressed to her - including an excel spreadsheet with the names and phone numbers of dozens of celebrities... I think she has changed job or email address because the emails have largely stopped.

I have this, I’ve had school reports, medical reports family zooms etc for years now, I used to email back being like wrong email but now I just delete them.

Is it a gmail account? Heard of this a number of times. It’s the way their systems work, they don’t distinguish between subtle differences. I’d contact gmail if it’s them.
gmail is not going to help, any provider it would be the same issue as the senders are putting in the wrong email address.

I'd just start deleting them. She might be more inclined to do something if she doesn't receive the emails. You could email her to tell your closing the account or something and then just delete/block as necessary.

I would probably start joining in.....
Hi everybody
I have replied and forwarded xx emails for over 20
Years - I truly feel part of the community in fact part of the family !
Really interesting to hear all
Your mission stories Db - had a few wild nights in Mexico myself - (insert winky face) and photo ai yourself into a shot of him and you snuggling in a bikini by a pool - smoking a bong? Met this super cute boy last time - maybe you know him?
Anyhow- chain recipes anyone?

I've had this too. Lots of return to sender and I also got her home address from one invoice so often pass that on. I did manage to get in touch with her and it happens less often now.
