Gmail also ignores the dot. If you choose a 17-character mailbox name, you can use any one of 2^16 different patterns of placing dots between them.

Capitalisation could also be used for such a purpose, but may be more likeely to accidentally get stripped.

Dots are useful to create new accounts on the same site, but you can’t use it to just tell websites apart (because there’s no label)
