I Did Not Know That (Gmail)
[Dave Shea’s Chalkwork icons]
There are a few tricks Gmail offers to filter your incoming mail. One of the most-common methods to sort messages is using the plus-sign trick (e.g., caption@gmail.com and caption+less@gmail.com are equivalent).
Turns out, Gmail gives every user an @gmail.com address as well as an @googlemail.com address. (Google was originally forced to give some countries’ Gmail users googlemail.com addresses because of a trademark conflict.)
Googlemail trick: seen on Lifehacker.
