Multiple Addresses Google - Gmail Account

Multiple e-mail a Google Gmail account

With multiple Gmail addresses can also be used to provide easy to separate personal and business e-mail and monitor incoming mail subscriptions, mailing lists and special. There are three main ways to help expand the Google e-mail addresses that you can have a Gmail account:

1. The use of the@googlemail.com field.

2. Using the "dot" or period in the name of your e-mail.

3. The plus sign "+" at the end of your name and the addition of extra characters.

Use the "@ googlemail.com" Domain Name

Let's start with the use of the@googlemail.com domain name. With each Gmail account you actually get a second email address - the address is a regular@gmail.com while the second direction has@googlemail.com the field. This will really like Gmail myname@googlemail.com myname@gmail.com. All emails sent to be delivered to your myname@googlemail.com

Using a point or point them in the name of the e-mail

Another interesting aspect of Gmail addresses are what is sometimes called "Dot blindness." In an interesting twist Gmail does not recognize dots "." Or periods as a sign of usernames Google e-mail. This means that Google "sees" my.name @ gmail.com gmail.com @ myna.me or the same address as myname@gmail.com. You can also use multiple "points" in the user name as my.na.me @ gmail.com.

The same "point blindness" also applies to e-mail addresses using the domain name my.name the@googlemail.com @ googlemail.com or my.na.me @ googlemail.com routing to the same mailbox as myname @ gmail. com.

Use the + sign and another sign

The third round to extend the use of Gmail is the ability to add additional characters at the end of your username by adding a "+" after your name. Google does not recognize these characters, but the search filters to Gmail. Characters after the sign can be either letters or numbers. Then myname myname + + abcde@gmail.com abcde@googlemail.com or ends in the same inbox as myname@gmail.com.

To test this myself and see what works best for you. Below are all the same changes to Google mail account, and all end up in your Gmail Inbox myname@gmail.com:

myname@gmail.com

myname@googlemail.com

my.name @ gmail.com

my.name @ googlemail.com

Benefits of multiple Google E-mail from a Gmail account

So you say, "OK, the Google e-mail tips are interesting, but what would I use all these changes?" A user is to trace where the mail comes. When you sign up for a subscription to the newsletter or mailing list, you can create a specific email address using the plus sign, and some specific characters, or "dot" pattern. You can then monitor incoming email based on specific email name that you created.

For example, you subscribe to a subscription to a newsletter with 456 and more my.name news@gmail.com newsletter has signed to start getting emails from a number of other sources for this specific address. This could indicate that specific mailing list may have been compromised, or even sold.

Another use of these variations on the type of e-mail spam or unsolicited e-mail from someone on Google. Use Gmail filters to automatically direct a specific address, such as 666@gmail.com MYNAME the spam folder.

Changes to your address can also be used to separate personal and business messages and to automatically identify each with a different label and sorted in a different folder.

Simplified management and e-mail to Google

With more e-mail address of Google is a useful tool for many different e-mail needs. The advantages of a centralized e-mail, you can easily manage multiple e-mail addresses, without having to go out and set a number of new accounts, add user names and passwords can be a real advantage. And they are all derived from a single Gmail account. In a sense, remember the verse by JRR Tolkien: "One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them."

HOW TO PREVENT HACKERS

JUST FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO STOP HACKERS.
# Different password

Each account must have a different password. It's never the same password on unsafe sites like Facebook and something important, such as online banking.

# Passwords

If your password is less than ten characters, a mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols, then it is not strong enough. It should never be a name, a birthday or any information about anyone or anything around you. An example of a strong password is something like "C + M # T_on

# Usernames complex

Most of people  have e-mail address or name as your username? Rookie Move evil. You should make a user name as a password so complex. Many WordPress blogs are created by the username "admin" as hackers are already 50% of the road. Change username and not something complicated.

# Updated anti-virus software

You need an updated version (or two) of recent anti-virus and anti-spyware. Some are free like AVAST or KESPERSKY as paid. And an update automatically.

# End Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, versions of Safari

Do not just ignore that update requests from the browser, do it now. Some of these updates are in the safety of their products. In fact, up to date on what is the more secure browser and use only. Hello Chrome?

# Use Facebook and e-mail safely the correct URL

Will connect to Facebook. Come on, do it. Now see that the URL "http://" or "https"? If the former, then you are not in a secure session. Go into your settings and make sure to always use https, and when you log on any site be sure to write "s" if you are logged in.

# Do not use public Wi-Fi

You know when you go to a cafe and connect to the network free? Well, take a look at how easy it is for people to steal your passwords, email and Facebook with a simple plugin for Firefox. It's really sad that this exists. I can not use Wi-Fi.

# Do not send passwords or store important information online or offline

Do not send in online security to all. Especially through chat or e-mail. If someone has been noticed in your account can see what you're doing. If you want to send passwords for employees, family members, etc. Then call them on the phone. Avoid storing passwords on your hard drive as it is also very easy to use.

# Make your security questions difficult

You know, these security issues as "what is the maiden name of your mother?" So, make the complex answers. For example, in one of mine, I choose the pet name first and then respond to a complex password. If you ever hacked, you need this information to regain access to the account. You do not want a hacker to change that.

All Backup #

You must be ongoing to save the contents of your hard drive, email and blog to an external hard drive. If the worst happens and someone deletes the content of the blog you can return without too much trouble. Imagine if you were based on a web site for entry and all that was removed?

# Do not use your computer administrator account

Most people use the administrator account, it gives you the freedom to add programs, etc, but did you know that using a non-administrator account can slow the spread of a virus?

# Monitor your sites connected

If you go to the bottom of your Gmail account, you will see a small line of text that says "Last account activity". This shows you your account has been accessed from, so if you suspect that something is wrong, you should watch and record the IP of the unknown.

# Use phishing filter

This can help you identify if someone is running a phishing scam in which to show what is safe.

 Do not click links in emails

In general, most banks and financial institutions will send you emails with links. Never click on any email you receive. If you really believe it is call your bank instead.

use Gmail space as online storage drive

Recently Google announced that users can now buy more online storage for Google services just by paying a small fee. Why not use this online storage space and outdoor use can be a network drive or hard drive of a computer clean.

Use the storage unit such as Google Google

I will show different ways that you can use your Gmail as your hard drive, also free. You will be able to download (or should I say to copy) files from your Gmail account to your computer as you would from a reader on your computer. You can also use this space to transfer content directly from your computer and save it online in your Gmail account.

1. GMail Drive

Gmail Drive free guide

GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google Mail account so that you can use Gmail as a storage medium.

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google Gmail account and you can save and retrieve files in your Gmail account directly within Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer for the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files.

Gmail Drive, you can easily copy files to your Gmail account and retrieve them again.

When you create a new file in Gmail Drive, it generates an e-mail messages to your account. E-mail Inbox is the normal file is attached to an e-mail. GMail Drive periodically checks your mail account (Gmail search function), if new files have arrived and to rebuild the directory structures. But basically GMail Drive acts as any other hard drive installed on your computer.

You can copy files to and from the GMail Drive folder simply by using drag and drop as you're used to with the normal Explorer folders.

Because the files cluttering your Gmail inbox, you can create a filter in Gmail to automatically move the files (prefixed with the letters gmailfs subject) to your archived mail folder.

Please note that GMail Drive is still an experimental tool. There are still a number of file system limitations (such as the total file size must be less than 65 characters). Since the tool hooks with Google's free Gmail, changes in the Gmail system may break the tool's ability to function. I can not guarantee that files stored in this manner will be accessible in the future.
