I’m receiving someone else’s emails. computers

I’m hoping someone can help me. For like a year I’ve been receiving a lady named Kathy’s emails.

Let’s pretend my email address is absmith@gmail.com, well Kathy’s email address is a.b.smith@gmail.com. The only difference is the full stops.

I’ve tried emailing this woman, Kathy at her email address but it actually sends to my inbox. I’m emailing myself. I get emails for both absmith and a.b.smith.

The worst part is that I literally get ALL of this woman’s emails including some really personal shit like account numbers, passwords, banking, government shit, her church group, her work roster, her refrigerator model, appointments, everything. I could literally steal this woman’s entire identity if I was so inclined (I’m not by the way. I delete everything. I couldn’t give a shit).

What can I do? I can’t email her (I’m just emailing myself), I can’t email any of the companies or people emailing her (I tried and nothing changes). I could phone her (yes, I know her phone number and her address from her emails) but a) it would be an international call and b) how creepy would that be from her point of view.

I can’t block her address either because I’m effectively blocking my own address.

Can anyone assist?

EDIT: I’ve have my gmail email address for like 20 years so the conflicting accounts must have started with the generation of her email address in the past year or two. I never had a problem until a few years ago.
