Too many username matches for abc@gmail.com. The possible matches are abc@gmail.com.fc, abc@gmail.com; edit the username to match only one.

The issue was that somehow I had two users in the system with the same username. I deactivated one user and the issue was solved.

In Summer 13 release Salesforce matches users from your development environment (such as a sandbox) to your production organization. If a component in a deployment refers to a user, such as a recipient of workflow email notifications or a dashboard running user, then Salesforce attempts to locate a matching user in the destination organization by comparing usernames. Previously, a change set deployment changed all user references with the user performing the deployment.
For more information, see “Change Sets Implementation Tips” in the Salesforce online help or “Using Metadata” in the Metadata API Developer’s Guide.
You can see detail in Summer 13 release under the section "User References Transfer during a Deployment".

it should map the fullcopy sandbox 'fc user name(abc@gmail.com.fc), if it's different then that is the reason why the deployment failed because it could not match a username.
let me know if its wont work :)

I am having the same issue and I am not sure from your explaination above exactly how I am supposed to fix this. When I try to change the username in the target organization, I get an error that says this username already exists in another Org. I checked both the release notes and help doc you listed above and neither of those had solutions. Please advise on how to correct this.
Thank you
Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm running into the same issue.
The issue was that somehow I had two users in the system with the same username. I deactivated one user and the issue was solved.
I ended up filing a case with Support and they pretty much did the same thing that Aneesha did for you. My username was duplicated in two Sandboxes (for whatever reason) so (if I remember correctly) the Support Agent changed my username in one of the Sandboxes so that I could deploy. Hopefully this helps.
