- You can subtly alter your Gmail address so that you can sign up to a website or newsletter but always have the option of deleting it.

- Gmail doesn't recognize periods as characters, so you can add . anywhere in your Gmail address to create an alias.

- Mail sent to this address will arrive in your inbox, but can be filtered out whenever you want.
