Gmail tips and tricks

Recently I found out a trick in gmail that I felt very  interesting.The trick is like having a gmail address and making many gmail addresses by using the simple operators like .,+.

Gmail doesn't differentiate between the following addresses
raghubharat@gmail.com
raghu.bharat@gmail.com
r.a.g.hu.bharat@gmail.com
some other mail id with . in middle
                            
                                        The trick here is suppose you have a gmail id yourname@gmail.com you will recieve the mails sent to any combination of your email id with . operator

2) The second trick is using the + operator.You can add some random text using the +operator to your gmail id
FOR EXample: raghubharat+yourtext@gmail.com

                                             Hence beware of spammers who can send emails to these.I recommend you to keep some random number to have a unique id.
