Every Gmail user has two email addresses.

For example: if you have a Gmail id: xyz@gmail.com, the second one isxyz@googlemail.com.

This will be useful for opening multiple accounts in a website or app.

For example, In Redbus mobile app, if you are new user (i.e., if you use new email id) you will get flat 100 rupees off on ticket booking. If you have already used xyz@gmail.com you can still use xyz@googlemail.com and take advantage of the offer. You will receive your ticket to your normal inbox itself. Thank me for saving your time from creating a new email account.

The dots in the Gmail id doesn't matter. 

Lets say your gmail id is someone.initial@gmail.com, then if somebody is sending email id to so.meoneinitial@gmail.com orsomeoneiniti.al@gmail.com then the email will be delivered tosomeone.initial@gmail.com inbox itself. 

Create unlimted email ids by adding + anything to your email id.

Say your email id is xyz@gmail.com, then if you add any letters after your name by adding '+' symbol, the emails will be delivered to xyz@gmail.cominbox itself. This is a nice trick when you are registereing in a suspicious website. Some websites will sell your email ids for money, and the buyer will spam advertisemts to your inbox. Say http://randomwebsite.com  is a suspicious website and you want to register in it for some reason. While registering give your email id as xyz+randomwebsite@gmail.com. The emails from the website will be delivered to xyz@gmail.com, and you can simply fliter out the message from this website by typingxyz+randomwebsite@gmail.com in search box. Also if you find that the spam mail have the receipent email id as  xyz+randomwebsite@gmail.com, then it means that http://randomwebsite.com has sold your email id.
