When you create a Gmail account, you actually get two email addresses one is the regular @gmail.com address while the second email address has @googlemail.com in the domain.
That means if your email address in Gmail is something like dbappweb@gmail.com, all email messages that are sent to dbappweb@googlemail.com will also be delivered to your own Gmail account. You have created only one Gmail address but actually, you have got two email addresses.
You can take the advantage of these two domains so that less spam reaches your Gmail mailbox. For example, Give the @googlemail.com address to your close contacts and you can also put this address on your visiting card while keeping the @gmail.com address for the public (put it on your blog). Then set a Gmail filter such that all email messages with @googlemail.com in the header go to a special folder so you will never miss the important email from close friends.
And if you have multiple Twitter accounts, associate one with your main @gmail.com address and the other with your new @googlemail.com address.
