GMail GoogleMail and etc

Whenever you leave an email id on a website, you get hundreds of spam mails typically recommending products I am pretty sure I do not need, kids toys to errr ehem lets say toys :P..!!
Google provides aliases for one's email ID's. This is a very oooold trick but must people rather prefer sorting their mails manually than doing this.

@gmail is same as @googlemail




So if your mail id is mailid@gmail.com then mailid@googlemail.com is also you. (Yes, it is you :P)
So whenever you register on some website which you think will spam your mailbox you can register with the @googlemail.com id and use a filter to set all the @googlemail.com mail to spam.

X + anything = X

This is a better version of segregating mails. Any mail posted to urmailid+xyz@gmail will be redirected to urmailid@gmail.com so in my blog if I leave my mail id as sriks86+blogreaders@gmail.com I would definitely know that the mail came from a blog reader. Set filters on these and you have all your mail easily sorted as sriks86+frnds, sriks86+family or sriks86+idontwanttohearfromyou.

Google also does not distinguish between abc.123@gmail.com and a.b.c.1.2.3@gmail.com and abc123@gmail.com, add as many dots as you want.

To all the "pooja/neha/neeta wants to say hi to you",
happy spamming :)
