尽管Gmail非常擅长过滤垃圾邮件，但我最终还是会从非传统垃圾邮件来源中收到大量垃圾邮件，例如在(junk mail)实体店(brick and mortar stores)注册或在医生办公室注册。这些通常不是传统意义上的垃圾邮件，但如果您定期收到电子邮件，那可能会很烦人。
大多数公司都可以选择取消订阅电子邮件，但仍有许多公司没有。一旦你学会了这三个对你的Gmail 地址(Gmail address)的小技巧，你就可以发送一个修改过的电子邮件版本，它仍然会直接进入你的收件箱，但允许你创建过滤器以任何你喜欢的方式组织电子邮件。这使您可以创建Gmail 电子邮件(Gmail email)地址的无限变体。
点黑客(The Dot Hack)
如果您还不知道，Gmail在处理电子邮件时不会考虑您帐户名称中的任何额外点。(account name)例如，我可以将我的电子邮件地址写为[email protected] 而不是正常的[email protected]。
您可以在任何位置添加任意数量的点，电子邮件仍会发送给您。在论坛或任何在线网站上注册时，这个技巧通常效果最好，因为大多数表单都接受句点作为典型电子邮件地址(email address)的允许符号。
加号黑客(The Plus Hack)
这个Gmail hack已经存在了很长时间，大多数人都已经知道了。只需(Simply)在您的帐户名称(account name)后放置一个“ + ”并添加一个或多个单词(word or words) 来唯一标识该电子邮件地址(email address)。
例如，我可以在任何银行、信用合作社(credit union)、投资网站(investment site)等注册时将我的电子邮件地址(email address)更改为[email protected]。现在我可以创建一个过滤器，并将所有与我的财务活动相关的电子邮件自动移动到适当的标签。
这比为每个金融机构创建单独的过滤器要容易得多。金融机构使用的发送电子邮件地址(email address)经常发生变化，因此您必须更新过滤器。由于您自定义的Gmail 地址(Gmail address)永远不会更改，因此您无需担心更新过滤器。
plus hack 非常有用，但缺点是在线表单有时会阻止它，因为它不被视为电子邮件地址中的正常符号。在这种情况下，请使用我即将提到的Dot hack或Googlemail hack 。
谷歌邮件黑客(The Googlemail Hack)
最后，您可以将电子邮件帐户(email account)的最后一部分更改为 googlemail.com，而不是普通的 gmail.com！这是不泄露您的主要电子邮件地址(email address)的另一种好方法。显然，如果其他人已经知道这些技巧，他们可以轻松找出您的原始电子邮件地址(email address)。
所以[email protected]和 gmail.com 完全一样。如果您想让您的帐户名称保持一致(account name consistent)，而不是所有的点或加号，那么您可以改用 googlemail.com。
您可能想知道如果您可以在发件人电子邮件地址(sender email address)上创建一个过滤器并以这种方式组织电子邮件，为什么这是必要的？该方法效果很好，但是就像我上面给出的财务示例一样，如果您想将您的电子邮件地址(email address)提供给您在家经营的小型企业的一些客户怎么办？
如果您没有单独的企业电子邮件地址(business email address)，您可以向所有客户发送一封类似[email protected]的电子邮件，然后将这些电子邮件自动过滤到为您的企业电子邮件创建的标签中。由于您不一定知道发件人的电子邮件，因此在自定义的 收件人(To)地址上创建过滤器效果会更好。
这些黑客已经存在了很长时间，如果您已经使用Gmail多年，它可能并不是什么新鲜事。但是，如果您最近从Yahoo(Yahoo)、Outlook等切换，这是一个值得了解的额外功能。享受！
3 Gmail Tricks to Reduce Spam and Organize Email
Even though Gmail is great at filtering out spam, I still end up getting a lot of јunk mail from non-traditiоnal spam sources like signups at brick and mortar stores or signups at a doctors office. These are usually not spam in the traditional sense, but if you keep getting the emaіls on a regular basis, it can be quite annoying.
Most companies have the option to unsubscribe in the email, but there are still many that do not. Once you learn these three small hacks to your Gmail address, you can give out an altered version of your email that will still come directly to your inbox, but will allow you to create filters to organize the email any way you like. This allows you to create infinite variations of your Gmail email address.
The Dot Hack
If you didn’t already know, Gmail does not consider any extra dots in your account name when processing email. So for example, I could write out my email address as [email protected] instead of the normal [email protected].
You can add as many dots as you like in any location and the email will still come to you. This trick usually works the best when signing up on forums or anywhere online because most forms will accept periods as an allowable symbol of a typical email address.
The Plus Hack
This Gmail hack has been around for a LONG time and most people already know about it. Simply place a “+” after your account name and add a word or words to uniquely identify that email address.
For example, I can change my email address to [email protected] when signing up at any bank, credit union, investment site, etc. Now I can create a filter and have all emails related to my financial activities automatically moved to an appropriate label.
This is much easier than creating a separate filter for each financial institution. There are many times when the sending email address used by a financial institution changes and therefore you have to update your filter. Since your customized Gmail address will never change, you never will need to worry about updating the filter.
The plus hack is very useful, but the downside is that online forms sometimes block it because it’s not considered a normal symbol in email addresses. In that case, use the Dot hack or the Googlemail hack I’m about to mention.
The Googlemail Hack
Finally, you can change the last part of your email account to googlemail.com instead of the normal gmail.com! It’s another nifty way to not give out your main email address. Obviously, if someone else already knows these tricks, they can easily figure out your original email address.
So [email protected] is exactly the same as gmail.com. If you want to keep your account name consistent without all of the dots or plus signs, then you can just use googlemail.com instead.
You might be wondering why this is necessary if you could just create a filter on the sender email address and organize email that way? That method works just fine, but like the financial example I gave above, what if you wanted to give out your email address to some clients of a small business you are running from home?
If you don’t have a separate business email address, you could give out an email like [email protected] to all your clients and then have those emails automatically filtered to a label created for your business emails. Since you don’t necessarily know the emails of the senders, creating a filter on the customized To address works much better.
These hacks have been around for a long time and if you’ve been using Gmail for many years, it’s probably nothing new. However, if you have recently switched over from Yahoo, Outlook, etc, it’s an extra feature worth knowing about. Enjoy!
