Handy Gmail tips
There's several of them on the Daily Telegraph page/
I liked this one " If you want to have multiple versions of your email addess, you can just add in a full stop to your email address. Google will send the same emails to [email protected] to [email protected]. If Sam wanted even more aliases, he could be [email protected] or any other variation. Handy tip if you want to use multiple email alises to sign up to different web services or newsletters." |
You can also use a plus sign, in the format [email protected]
|
I don't like that at all. It means that if Sam Jones sets up an email as [email protected] and then Samantha Jones, a different person, sets up as [email protected], they will both receive each others' email. Or am I missing something?
Not a great concern to me anyway as I've never trusted gmail and don't use my account for anything that matters. |
gmail wouldn't allow those two examples to exist as separate accounts
I know because I have the same name as a minor film star. she has my firstname.lastname@gmail as her address I have to have firstname.middleinitial.lastname@gmail doesn't stop me getting her email on occasion. Once I got her plane tickets emailed to me |
Capetonian,
I thought that too. But its one of those Googlisms.... you know where they do stuff differently. A quick Google would have yielded you this page.... http://gmailblog.********.co.nz/2008...from-your.html (Stupid PPRune Link changing..... replace the stars with b.l.o.g.s.p.o.t .... without the dots) |
So in theory I should be able to send e-mail like this:
[email protected] and they wouldn't be none the wiser :E. |
