Well I ventured into the Rails console (for the first time!) to add a secondary email address, but my workaround to add the @googlemail.com email to the @gmail.com account and viceversa didn’t work, because the emails have already been taken, of course it makes sense.

If anyone has other ideas to fix this reply by email issue, I’ll be grateful, as I generally am for being able to use Discourse.
