Multiple Gmail Accounts

Every wish you had more than one gmail account to make it easier to do things like sort your mail and identify where people got your address?

Here’s a trick…add the source of information to your address with a “+” sign before the “@” sign.

So for example, my gmail address is:

vermillionm@gmail.com.

If I want to know that people found my address on LinkedIn, I tell LinkedIn that my email address is:

vermillionm+linkedin@gmail.com.

The mail will still go into my gmail account, but now I can use a filter on the “To:” information to automatically move the LinkedIn mail into its own folder.

You can do the same for your website, blog, Facebook account, Plaxo account, etc.

Thanks to Alison at Google for showing me how to do this.
