Neat Things to do with your Gmail Account

I stumbled upon this blog entry about interesting things you can do with your email address over at Gmail.

Let’s say you have a Gmail account listed as [email protected]

Technically, Gmail, doesn’t look at the period in the beginning portion of an email so you can send different permutations of this:

Mikesmithers
M.ike.s.m.ithers
Mikesmithers.

Another cooler feature is the fact that you can append a bit of text to your email address such as:

[email protected]

Which would still go to your own email account but you could use these tags for your own use.  For example, in the above example, I could use this email address for any online banking related sites I go to so when I get an email in my inbox, I can always filter out any related to [email protected] and voila!  All my bank related emails are there for my reading.  I guess you can also sent emails directly to a folder if you wanted to.  Either way, a neat trick.
