Gmail Hack
I am currently reading a book about Google Hacks (this is also its name) which I found interesting. I started with the Gmail chapter and I came across a very useful hack.
If you have a Gmail account (if you don’t get one now!!!) and your mail lets say me@gmail.com you can receive emails to any email in this format : me+anything@gmail.com. This + thing can go on forever for example me+anything+anything2@gmail.com .Did i get your attention yet!!.
Ok lets see how is this helpful. lets say, and i think this is a common situation, you are registering for this website that sends you a registration confirmation thing so you put your mail address as me+thewebsitename@gmail.com, you can later easily track all the mails coming from this website and even if this site becomes a pain in the a** and you don’t want to receive any mail from it again, you can apply a filter that will send all the mail coming from that website to the trash automatically.
Well this just a though about how to use but how can you make it beneficially to you is up to your imagination.
