First I like to thank our beta users. All your feedbacks and warm wishes for us are greatly appreciated. For those still in our queue waiting for an invite, we’re working hard to send out more invites. It should not be too long before we get to you.

As my way of saying thanks, I like to share with you an undocumented feature in Zenbe. It is known as plus addressing. Let say your email address is JohnSmith@zenbe.com, you can add a plus behind your user name with some other word and it is still a valid email address for you. Example, JohnSmith+shopping@zenbe.com, or JohnSmith+mailingList@zenbe.com. This is very useful to give different addresses when signing up mailing lists or e-commerce sites. It allows you to easily search or write a rule to handle those emails differently than your normal emails.

At Zenbe, we not only support plus addressing, we go one step further and auto tag it with the word behind the plus for you. So in the two examples above emails to those addresses will be automatically tagged shopping and mailingList respectively.

I hope you find this useful. Thanks again for all your wonderful support.

Cheers.
