    I didn't think you could, but according to the Yahoo Help link I've posted below, you can use "dots" in a Yahoo EXTRA email address.

    It must start with at least one letter, and followed by at least 4 characters after the dot.

    As far as the email address you posted here in your question, do you realize that is a Yahoo Canada address?

    .ca is Canada.
