Gmail Facts: Part 1
1. Using Plus sign[+] for Email aliases OR filtering mails in Gmail
Yeah !, We can create infinite number of Email Aliases in Gmail by adding a plus sign in front of our Gmail address like pritesh.gupta2000@gmail.com is same as pritesh.gupta2000+xyz@gmail.com. Gmail doesn’t considers the characters after the PLUS sign[+] in an email address but the gmail search filter can distinguish between the different address and we can therefore apply different labels.
2. Gmail doesn’t considers Dot’s(.) in an Email address.
Gmail doesn’t recognizes dots or periods in an email addresses or user names. That is an address like pritesh.gupta2000@gmail.com is same as priteshgupta.2000@gmail.com or pritesh.gupta..2000@gmail.com. Also an email sent to priteshgupta2000@gmail.com(Mistaken Address) will be received by pritesh.gupta2000@gmail.com(Real Address).
3. Two separate addresses
When we create a account in Gmail we actually get two Email addresses, One is regular @gmail.com one and another is @googlemail.com one. That means xyz@gmail.com is same as xyz@googlemail.com. We can use these addresses separately with filter’s. Also a mail sent to xyz@googlemail.com will be received by xyz@gmail.com
