In today’s DYK, I will be explaining about an interesting feature in Gmail, which I thought many newbies might not know. You can use single Gmail account with multiple email addresses (variations of your emails id).<\/p>\n

The trick is based upon this fact: Gmail does not consider the DOTS (.) in between the email addresses. For example, if an address like techie.buzzer@gmail.com is registered, then all the following addresses are also considered to be registered.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. tech.iebuzzer@gmail.com<\/li>\n
  2. techiebuzz.er@gmail.com<\/li>\n
  3. t.e.c.h.i.e.b.u.z.z.e.r@gmail.com and so on.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So, Google gives no importance to the dots in the address. Another fact is that, you can add anything after a “+” sign in your email id, it doesn’t really matter. Example, if your email id is something like “pramodh@techie-buzz.com” then this address is equivalent to “pramodh+work@techie-buzz.com”.<\/p>\n

    Using this fact, you can do a trick to automatically segregate all mails into their respective labels. To do this, follow the steps below.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Let us consider that you have a email id as test@techie-buzz.com<\/li>\n
    2. Let us consider you use the same id for many purposes.<\/li>\n
    3. In such cases, you can distibute different versions of your id to different people. For example, you can add “+friends” and distribute it to your friends. Similarly, “+work” and distribute it your colleagues.<\/li>\n
    4. After this, you can create a “to” filter in your Gmail account. In the “to” filter, enter the email address, test+friends@gmail.com. Click “Next” and apply the label, “Friends”.<\/li>\n
    5. The next time anyone sends you an email to “test+friends@gmail.com, it will automatically get the label “Friends”.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Like this, you can use a single Gmail account for multiple purposes. Share your comments on this trick. Is this trick new to you or an old one? Do you find this trick helpful and useful?<\/p>\n
