Im not one to talk much about email since I like to concentrate on search engine topics, however, this trick deserved some attention.

Gmail, it has become very popular and works well. There is a small trick with adding “+” signs in the front of your gmail account to essentially create many accounts with one email.  For example, lets say your email account is Steve@gmail.com.

You use it for personal and business related emails. Set up a work related account and name it Steve+work@gmail.com Then go into gmail and make a rule to redirect all Work related emails to your Work folder, checking for the above prefix steve+work@gmail.com

Another example would be to keep track of your accounts that you have signed up with. Lets say you want to catch spammers, set up one for each site you sign up with, example:

steve+photopics@gmail.com Once you start receiving spam from the Photopics website you can redirect it all to the trash.
