I know I said I wouldn’t mention any more Gmail stuff, but I had my fingers crossed behind my back. So here’s Gmail Gems, a blog for hints and tips, and Adam’s collection of same.
‘Gmail supports “plus” addressing, which means that if your address is [email protected], you can receive e-mail at [email protected] or [email protected], etc. Why is this useful? Well, Mary (or you!) could use one, er, I’ll call it a “plussing,” for mailing lists (“maryhadda+lists”), and another for shopping online (“maryhadda+shopping”) and so on, and then create filters to put useful labels on the different types of mail.’
