Hotmail's New Alias Feature Lets You Handle Multiple Addresses From The Same Inbox

Ever wished you could have multiple email addresses that all routed to the same inbox, without having to set up a bunch of different accounts and forwarding options? Hotmail — yes, the email service you probably haven't looked at in years — has just added a very handy new alias feature that lets you do just this. In other words, I can now setup a Hotmail inbox that lets me seamlessly handle correspondence to both jasonkincaid@hotmail.com and JediMasterJ@hotmail.com from the same inbox — woohoo!* Aliases aren't anything new for webmail services. Hardcore Gmail users are probably familiar with the old '+' trick: if your email is jason@gmail.com, you can use a + symbol to create a variety of aliases that all go to the same place. For example, you might create jason+receipts@gmail.com, jason+deals@gmail.com, and so on — each with a different filter to route the emails to different labels (or deletes them immediately). It's not perfect, but it works decently well.
