OK.... I've been trying to hunt this one down with no luck. When I type in the first two letters of her name, her address pops up, but right below it, Gmail gives me the next best match.... it's her email address without the periods.... so, the RIGHT one is exampe.lima@gmail.com.... but another one pops up with examplelima@gmail.com. It's aggravating.

I've checked everywhere in gmail.... the web client... my peoples app.... I have yet to find where that contact is saved. It's persistant, so clearing the gmail app data doesn't purge it. It isn't a secondary address on her contact, it isn't in the 'other contacts' bucket in gmail.... I can't find it.

Actually, my understanding is that gmail ignores the dot between names anyway. So, examplelima and example.lima are functionally the same.

That would make sense and explain the fact that I couldn't find it ANYWHERE...

(oh, and the personalized email was really tongue in cheek.... you think my wife, being a famous supermodel, would have such an easily guessed personal email address?)
