Do you have a Gmail account? Then here are a few tips and tricks to get the most out of your account.
One of the most interesting tricks is that Gmail supports “plussing”.
Gmail supports “plus” addressing, which means that if your address is , you can receive e-mail at maryhadda+littlelamb@gmail.com or maryhadda+longaddress@gmail.com, 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.
Another site completely dedicated to Gmail tips and tricks is linked to in that article. It’s called Gmail Gems, and looks like there’s some good stuff in there.
