Use two Gmail accounts to manage iPhone email
Authored by: kramrm on Mar 27, '08 08:58:42PM

The following instructions have been copied from a Google newsletter I received.


Flexible Usernames

You can add '+anything' to your email address, and it'll still arrive
in your account. These additional aliases are great for filling out online
forms, communicating with clients outside your organization, or signing up
for newsletters. Instead of questioning whether you want to provide your
primary email address, you can create a 'plus' alias, and then create a
filter to organize incoming mail.

Here are some examples:

- I just purchased an online tutorial, and and they want to send me an
email confirmation. I can input my email address as
username+tutorials@example.com. Then, I can create a filter to label messages
sent to my '+tutorials' alias.

- I'd like to sign up for an industry newsletter - but I don't want
a ton of mail, and I don't want to see it in my inbox every day. I can
sign up with username+newsletter@example.com, and create a filter that
labels those messages 'Newsletter' and skips my inbox. Now I can read
the newsletters at my leisure, and I know where to find them.
