Gmail's Amazing Feature






Makeuseof.com posted an amazing Gmail feature I think every Gmail user ought to know.

My email address is firstname.lastname@gmail.com. Basically, all messages sent to any of the following email addresses will be forwarded to my email.

* firstnamelastname@gmail.com
* f.i.r.s.t.n.a.m.e.lastname@gmail.com
* firstnamel.a.s.t.n.a.m.e@gmail.com

What makes it more interesting is the fact that Gmail does not allow others to sign up with an almost similar address. If someone tries to sign up using firstnamelastname@gmail.com or with the dots in-between, Gmail will treat such cases as one and therefore will be rejected. Read it in Gmail's Help Center

You're sure that those emails are only going to your inbox and not someone else's mail.

If you have other cool tips, let me know.
