Everyone Google user has the email like username@gmail.com.

Gmail doesn't make any difference between uppercase and lower case letters. You can use username all uppercase, lowercase or a combination of both while sending email. Apart from this, periods (dots) are not recognized by Google, so that, it can be used anywhere in your username.

username@gmail.com equals

•  username@googlemail.com

•  UserName@gmail.com

•  u.s.e.r.n.a.m.e@gmail.com
