The one he brought up was how you could take your GMail address and &#8216;append&#8217; additional words to the account name. For example, if you had a GMail account of &#8216;nasal43087@gmail.com&#8217;, you could give out an email address of &#8216;nasal43087+amazon@gmail.com&#8217; when buying something from Amazon. Now, if Amazon emailed you, you would get the email like you normally would. You could filter on the appended &#8216;+amazon&#8217; to automatically move the email into a folder, but more importantly, if you were to receive an email at that &#8216;address&#8217; from anyone else, you would instantly know that Amazon had given\/sold your address and to whom. This would be a quick way to determine who&#8217;s selling your information off to spammers&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/g04.com\/html\/modules.php?name=News&#038;new_topic=12\">GMail Tips website<\/a> also has lots of other interesting tips\/ideas to try out with your GMail account.
