Googlemail and Gmail

Most Gmail user probably don't know about this: when you register an account on Gmail, you actually get 2 email addresses: one with gmail.com domain, and another with googlemail.com. So if your Gmail address is Jonny@gmail.com, anyone sending an email to Johnny@googlemail.com will go to your inbox as well.

To take advantage on this, you can give one of the email address (Johnny@googlemail.com for example) to only family members or close friends of yours, and publish another address (Johnny@gmail.com) to the public. Then you can set filter to direct all emails that sent to googlemail.com into a separate folder so that you will never miss them!
