Hundreds of thousands of users have used Google and its various applications, such as Gmail. Gmail has been used to transfer secure messages between work professionals and people from the same institute or between friends and family members. However, sometimes you may receive emails not meant for you and addressed to someone else. Then, what you have to do is a big question. Well, the solution depends on a situation-by-situation basis. Thus, you can delve into the following blog, where you are provided with the different situations when you receive emails that are not meant for you, and what you must do in such circumstances. 

Dotted version of your email address

Though your email address has a single dot, the address is the same when you receive an email, but there are one or more extra dots in your email address. Even then, the mail is meant only for you, as all the dotted versions of your email address belong to you only. 

However, if you still think the mail was meant for someone else, you can inform the sender that they have misspelled the email address.

You receive the mail, which doesn't have your mailing address

If you are receiving an array of emails that are addressed to someone else, you can ensure that if someone has forwarded their email to you accidentally:

• Open your Gmail account.
• Go to the message that was sent to you by mistake.
• Click on the three vertical dots icon for more.
• Tap on "Show original."
• If you see "X-Forwarded-For" on the page, someone else has forwarded their message to your account. You can check their email address and contact them to let them know about their mistake.

Your mailing address has added or removed "mail" from your email address

If the sender address is meant for @gmail.com or @googlemail.com, both are the same and meant for you only. Some countries use @gmail.com, while others use @googlemail.com. Irrespective of the email address, in both situations, the mail has been received by you only.

You receive emails that you haven't signed up for

If someone else has been using your email address to sign up for emails, like newsletters or promotions, you can stop their subscription in the following simple steps:

• Open your Gmail account.
• Open the email from which you want to unsubscribe.
• Next to the sender name, you can find the option to unsubscribe or change preferences. 
• Click on the option and stop getting emails from them.
