The last one is off by default: most hosts do use +, but assuming it for an unknown domain can merge two real mailboxes.
The Email Normalizer reduces every address to one canonical form — lowercased, Gmail dots removed, tags stripped, punycode applied — with each rule on its own switch so it matches what your system does.
Canonicalising an address is what lets you compare two of them reliably: it is how you tell that someone signing up with a fresh plus-tag is the same account you banned last week, and how a suppression list actually suppresses.
Paste a list and each address is reduced to a single canonical form — lowercased, Gmail dots removed, provider sub-address tags stripped, googlemail folded into gmail, internationalised domains encoded to punycode. Each rule is a switch, so you can match whatever your own system does rather than whatever this tool prefers.
The original and normalised forms are shown side by side, and only the rows that changed are highlighted, so a list that needed no work says so instead of looking like it did something.
Switch each one on or off to match your own system.
Original and normalised together, with changed rows highlighted.
Dots stripped only where the provider actually ignores them.
International domains reduced to their ASCII form.
Take both columns out together.
One per line, or any reasonable separator.
Lowercase, dots, tags, punycode — each one on its own switch.
Original and normalised, with the changed rows marked.
The normalised list, or both columns as CSV.
The single form that every variant of an address reduces to — case folded, tags stripped, provider quirks applied. Two addresses with the same canonical form reach the same mailbox, which is what makes comparison reliable.
Store both. Send to what the person actually gave you, because that is what they expect to see and it preserves their tag; compare and deduplicate on the normalised form.
Because only Gmail and Googlemail ignore them. Removing dots anywhere else would merge first.last@company.com with firstlast@company.com, which are two different people at most hosts.
For comparison, yes at providers known to use them. For sending, no — keep the tag, since the recipient may be filtering on it. This tool defaults to the providers whose behaviour is documented.
