"Just about when I thought I got everything out of Gmail, I discovered my top favorite Gmail address tip. We have published over 30 tools in Gmail RoundUp 1 and almost 80 tools and tips in Gmail RoundUp 2 but never mentioned anything similar to this one. Tribute for this one goes to my 'I am not into computers' type girlfriend.

Let's say that your email address is 'GeorgeBush@gmail.com', basically everything sent to any of the following email addresses will be forwarded to your primary email.

GeorgeBush@gmail.com
G.eorgeBush@gmail.com
Ge.orgeBush@gmail.com

…

GeorgeBus.h@gmail.com
GeorgeBush@googlemail.com
G.eorgeBush@googlemail.com
Ge.orgeBush@googlemail.com
…
…

GeorgeBus.h@googlemail.com
And that's not all, you can place as many dots as you want, it can be even something like 'G.e.o.r.g.e.B.u.s.h@gmail.com' and you'll still get it on 'GeorgeBush@gmail.com'"
