I Didn't Know That...

Current Mood:
CC is listening to: It Might be You--Dave Koz (It Might Be You [Single])

I just found out today that each person with a Yahoo e-mail address can create a *second* Yahoo e-mail address that's linked to the main Yahoo address :-).

"Huh?" you say.

We all know that people often have more than one e-mail address. It comes in handy when they want to sign up for something online but don't want to run the risk of exposing their real e-mail address to spam.

So for example, I can give out ccslish@yahoo.com to friends and relatives, but I would give out something like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious@yahoo.com to online marketers (gee, I wonder if that e-mail address really does exist :-)).

The problem with that is, this means I would need to check my e-mail twice: after checking ccslish, I would need to log out of Yahoo and then log back in as supercalifra..you know what I mean... and then check the inbox for THAT. Ugh, too much work.

What I found is that if I go to Options in Yahoo Mail and choose Mail Addresses, I can create supercalifragilisticexpialidocious@yahoo.com as a secondary e-mail address that's linked to ccslish@yahoo.com. This means any mail sent to supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is automatically and discreetly sent to the ccslish Inbox. I wouldn't have to log out and log back in.

AND when I'm writing e-mail, I can choose to send it from ccslish or from supercalifragilisticexpialidocious with a drop down menu :-).

Pretty convenient :-).
