Get rid of spam in your Gmail account
By maverickmonk
Are you worried about spam in your precious gmail account ?
If yes, then you would like to consider making aliases of your gmail id to use when you're not sure whether you're signing up for something safe or not.
It is a very simple task to provide an alias of your gmail id. Whenever you sign up on the internet on some site that you think may not be safe(or a site which might send you spam),all you have to do is give out the email address as username+insertanythingyouwanthere@gmail.com
For example if your email id is james@gmail.com,you can provide james+21@gmail.com or james+test@gmail.com .You can put anything after the + and all email sent will still go to your gmail account.
In the event that you did give your email to a spammer and you start receiving spam, don't worry! Just create a filter, and make everything that is sent to username+whateveryouputhere@gmail.com go to the trash. This way all the spam that you might get will automatically be deleted.

If you use both Gmail and Outlook, you can configure things so you read your Gmail messages from Outlook. That puts two layers of junk mail filtering to work for you.
