Gmail "plus-addressing"


Here is an very useful usage of a feature offered by Google Email called plus-addressing -- basically add email extension with a "+" sign as follows:

pinkyrocks+freestuff@gmail.com for freestuff.com

Some email clients wont let you login with your real address and you have to replace the @ with a + and it works,

"pinkyrocks+work@gmail.com = pinkyrocks@work@gmail.com" to gmail

Extension to this is to have filters for each of the lables you set up with this "plus-addressing" feature -- Use Gmail Generate Unlimited E-mail Addresses ( via Modern Day Alchemist)
