Do you know that if your gmail a/c is usernamegmail.com then user.namegmail.com is same as UsEr.NamEgmail.com is same as u.s.e.r.n.a. m.e.gmail.com
Actually gmail server doesn't recognize DOT(.) character

And this googlemail.com can also be used to open gmail.com at places where gmail is banned.

Note: This only works when you are sending mails, Not for logging into your account.

More About this feature from GMail Team:

Gmail doesn't recognize dots (.) as characters within a username. This way, you can add and remove dots to your username for desired address variations. messages sent to your username

gmail. com and y.o.u.r.u.s. e.r.n.a.m. e

gmail .com are delivered to the same inbox, since the characters in the username are the same.
Keep in mind that hyphens (-) and underscores (_) can't be used in a Gmail address. Also, usernames are case insensitive, so it doesn't matter if you enter upper case or lower case letters.
If you created your account with a dot in your username and you wish you hadn't, you can change your 'Reply-to address.' To change your reply-to address:

Click 'Settings' at the top of any Gmail page.
Enter your usernamegmail. com without a dot in the 'Reply-to address' field.
Click 'Save Changes.'

When you log in to Gmail, you need to enter any dots that were originally defined as part of your username. Note: Google Apps for Your Domain does recognize dots. If you'd like to receive mail with a dot (.) in your username, please ask your domain administrator to add the desired username as a nickname in your user account.

I haven't tried yet..Let's see
