One extra email address per yahoo account for free!!!

I just came to know this today. Yahoo is giving one extra email account per inbox for free!!! While sending an email, one can choose an account from a drop-down list box. Mails sent to this extra email address will go to the same inbox. One can also change the extra email address twice a year. Isn't it exciting? I created an extra address just now, you can do it too!!!

Dunno what the pros/cons of the Yahoo system are but Gmail users can just give out addresses like username+category@gmail.com to ppl and then filter incoming messages from those ppl using the To: address. You can just make up any number of these plus addresses and give them out.

So if your username is gmailuser, then you can give out gmailuser+friends@gmail.com to friends, gmailuser+work@gmail.com to colleagues, and gmailuser+kites@gmail.com to your kite-flyers enthusiast club.

Man, it's awesome. I just tested it with my gmail account and I am amazed to see its power. Thanks for it, Yawar.
