If you have a Gmail account and your address has a special character that is used as part of your email address, you might find some of the mail that is being delivered to you is actually meant for another Gmail account that is the same as yours but without the special character, it has been reported.
An address of abc.def@gmail.com could receive mail that is meant for abcdef@gmail.com with no user intervention required. Google appears to have implemented a partial fix already, at least to stop new accounts being created with special characters. I'm unable to currently confirm if the real flaw has been addressed yet.
