I learned something interesting about gmail I thought I would share. I'm not sure if it works with other email providers, including our WA domain emails but this is what you can do with gmail.

First, you can add a period anywhere before the @ sign and you will still receive the emails. I'm not to sure of the advantages of this but it could be similar to the next.

Also, you can add a + sign and any word after it before the @ sign. Then you can filter them to skip the inbox and go to a particular folder or whatever you choose.

For example; instead of yourname@gmail.com you can sign up for newsletters under yourname+news@gmail.com and then send them all to a particular folder. You could even created folders for each newsletter source. If you have numerous domains you can add their names after the plus to organize your emails for each domain.

I actually tested this with gmail and it works. I would be interested to know if it works for others such as yahoo, etc.
