Dots does matter in GSuite's email addresses (those are the email addresses for enterprise via work or school.)

Also in the email name part of the email address, anything after + (plug sign) and before the @ (at sign) don't matter either. [1] This is the same behavior for personal Gmail and GSuite email (Gmail for enterprises)

It definitely is. For example I get a lot of emails sent to me+ni@mydomian for "Not Important" which I use kind of like an RSS reader. They never appear in my inbox and I catch up on them every once and a while.

You can do this for a wide variety of things and combine it with filters to get a lot of extra value from your email.

You'd be surprised how many legacy registration systems break because of the + 'trick'.

Ever since I got a basic Gsuite plan and set up a catch-all email address, I can just use websitename@mydomain and then use filters which is oh so practical!
