How to add an email with period sign to my appleId?

I want to add an email with period and I have the following response:

This email address is not available. Choose a different address.


The same email without a period is added well and the confirmation letter comes. But without period no one finds me by that address

Hello Triplecorpse_id,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. It looks like no one has responded to your question. Here are a couple things that might help others answer your question:


-Are you attempting to create a new Apple ID, or are you attempting to add an alias to an existing Apple ID?

-Are you using an email address that you have access to?


Take care.

Not quite helpful. My issue is why I can't use a dot in my alias email?


You know, for Google email.address@gmail.com and emailaddress@gmail.com and even e.m.a.i.l.a.d.d.r.e.s.s@gmail.com is the same address. So I am sure that my address with dot Apple doesn't verify. Without dot it verifies perfectly. But I want to add my address with dot for sure
