Quick Gmail Tips

Previously I had posted a quick Google Tip which could be used to your advantage to signup to a single service using multiple aliases.

Read more here.

Here is another similar tip for Gmail.

Filter your emails

Gmail offers multiple variations of your email address all of which get delivered to your inbox. All you need to do is append a '+' (without the quotes) and any combination of words or numbers after your username.

For example: yourusername+forum@gmail.com or yourusername+spam@gmail

This could be used to your advantage not only to signup to a single service using multiple aliases but to be used to filter all emails coming into your inbox as the emails get delivered to the actual email that was used with the '+'.

Reduce annoying confirmation prompts

There are many times when we compose emails without the need for a subject or a message body. When we click 'Send' in Gmail, we get an annoying confirmation prompt. To prevent this from happening, just add EOM or (EOM) at the end of the the subject line (which is short for End Of Message) and email will be sent without the annoying confirmation prompt

Have fun!
