Your gmail email id's little known twin

Do you have a gmail email id?

If you do, then you have another email id too right from the day you got your gmail id.

This email id looks something like this:

yourname@googlemail.com

This email id is in addition to your regular email id withe gmail:

yourname@gmail.com

Most people don't known about this twin either, until I read about it in a blog:

I thought I will share it with you.

You might ask what's the advantage of having two email ids. The advantages are obvious, you can control spam drastically by using these two ids judiciously.

When you surf you are often asked to enter email ids on sites, which then send you a lot of unwanted promotional material. You can choose one of these email ids exclusively for such purpose and use the other for serious emails.

Also if someone is pestering you to give him/her your email, but you are not keen on receiving emails from him/her, you can given one of the email ids that you have reserved for spam emails.

Not very kind on him/her, but then you have a right to privacy too.
