alternative Gmail address to existing account?
I once saw, that - when signing up to a site and you have to key in your Email address for contact - some use a variation of their log-in with a '+' in the name. Example: instead of andreas@gmail.com, they would key in: andreas+test23@gmail.com. Does any one know what this does?

Inappropriate?Mail sent to username@gmail.com and username+test@gmail.com both end up in the same inbox. Also interesting is user.name@gmail.com and u.s.ername@gmail.com etc. all go to the same inbox too.

Inappropriate?If I may just add to what Phil wrote. It's like having aliases to your main email address. Using variations of your main email address (like username+something@gmail.com) gives you possibility to filter emails based on the recipient. As an example you can have alias like username+bookmark@gmail.com and when you send yourself email to username+bookmark@gmail.com the filter created in your gmail account (you need to create it first) will automatically label this email with a bookmark tag.
