Comments:

S4br3W0lf: Gmail blocks everything like confirmation email that I need for forums >_>

creativekilla: 1st time on a jimmy video! yeeeessss!

70k0: Hmm, I've used gmail since it came out in beta where you had to get invites (got my from The Screen Savers, good ole techtv), but I've never seen the filter link.

I will deff use the filter for sub. invites and things like that.

Thanks for the quick tip/tut on that features, ^^.

CrayonEater: oh nice...maybe i should use gmail instead of yahoo

supermegabreadman: Wow, I never knew that about GMail. I might have to open an account up. Thanks JimmyR!

Slayer626: How could you people not know of the filter link?

jimmyrcom: by not having gmail or overlooking it.

ele12957: Thanks Jimmy, I really enjoy the vids keep them coming. This was excellent.

PabZ2K: jimmy u should google "peroosal" to see google's new search format.

C0pers: yet another great video tutorial by jimmyrcom keep up the good work

nonks: the reason y i use Gmail 5/5 great vid as usual

GeoffB123: cool, never saw that button, lol

frank84: wow, i've been using gmail for while..and i love it.. but never knew about the filter.. this will make my life much better

thanks for the video,

travitherabbii: But if you have yahoo you have unlimited storage now for free So why would I want gamil

jimmyrcom: gmail says I've gotten 13908. I'm using 5% storage.

travitherabbii: Well I only have 2897 Do you know how that works like why you have more does it keep going up when you get more email?

distortedclarity24: I used to get about 20 different types of emails and i filtered each one to its own spot on gmail. good feature.
people should explore gmail more its got some nice option

simon1419: Hey Jimmy, could you make a basic tutorial over windows vista, if you have it that is..

jimmyrcom: Sorry I'm not compatible with windows vista. Neither are any of my tutorials.

Healthyz: I just want to say I owned you ha. I Couldn't find who you subscribed too but I found out using one of your tutorial, thank you ha!

spudwillis: thanks again jimmy. have a nice day.

dfrusdn: nice! But just wondering does yahoo mail have this option? If not I am switching to my gmail account

fiamesses: jimmy ur great, allways making toturials which really do help

ltsAboutJesus: thats so funny..."forward it back to them"! lol. Oh Im all over this Jimmy. gonna go gmail it up!

ltsAboutJesus: Great job Jimmy, but you could have also mentioned that Gmail is one of the only email providers that secures data decently when the email is sent or recieved. Otherwise that forwarding option is effin gold.

TehBANN3D: This doesn't work all the time since some sites wont allow the + in the email field when you sign up, but in those cases you can use a combination of .'s and AlTeRnAtE cApS in your gmail user name, and are able to filter that. Its great for stoping potential spam, and you never have to give out your real email except to friends.

TehBANN3D: Aww damnit, my original comment is gone.

TehBANN3D: ets try for the 6th time :/ if it doesn't work, I'm not posting again. Youtube's bugged. forgive any grammar errors, i've typed the same damn thing 5 times already and when I tried to copy, it didn't work.

TehBANN3D: you can use me+anything @gmail. com to give to websites incase they give out your email or link to it.

TehBANN3D: When you get spammed, or dont want to recieve emails anymore, you can block that particular address in the "to" section.

jimmyrcom: the "to" option is only if you have other email servers forwarding the email to gmail. For example my webserver forwards emails I receive to my gmail account. I block webmaster at jimmyr dot com from being in the "to" field because usually people send a lot of automated spam.

TehBANN3D: not true. It works on all rcpt to requests. I'm uploading a video of it.

instantwagner: awesome thank you i would have never known about this

mub999: Forward it back to them. Thats the best thing to do..

RichJohnson06: The problem I have is that I will get at least 10 spam emails a day and they all have different email addresses so I can filter them like in this video.

Any ideas?

TehBANN3D: most likely its a fake email, and forwarding it back will only cause smtp error emails that the email doesn't exist to get sent to you. If it ends up in your inbox, the best thing to do is continually mark the particular email as spam. If its spam for a certain product, or contains more specific unique words (that only that email would have) filter it under the "has the words" region.

mattbennington: Good vid, nice feature to know about in gmail =D

sawad555: wow thanx jimmy. thats preety cool. i never new that

ZachsMind: Usually when a YouTuber has an open or close in their video it annoys me, like sitcoms. There's exceptions. Val's Art Diary has an open that never gets old for some reason. Your open and close with this video serves a purpose and reminds people how to support your efforts, so that's really cool. =) Are you gonna go back and add the open & close to all your tutorials?

freeble123: nice to know.
i'll use it.

millsto: no more daily subscription invites for me :)

alova: Cool vid jimmy, I also hate subscription invitations and random friend invites like you say, the ones I hate the most are from the people that want to teach me how to work from home and become ULTRA MILLIONAIRE... gee I feel bad for the people who fall for that scam.

Drmachin: "Pokemons fan-club" ROLF!
nice vids btw ^^

Bpslave: hey congrats on the 8000 subs and 101 video's. Keep up the good work

connie727: that is kickass, thanks for posting

iceke18: ur laughing through the video is kinda funny it makes me listen :p

Singul4r1ty: Cool didn't know of this feature,thnx!
Over 8000 subscribers and rising, keep up the good work!

marnockias: Go gmail. It really is awesome.

askapalaphagy: but didn't you know that Thunderbird can do that Jimmy? I like it because I don't have to go to gmail to check ;)

PabZ2K: google "peroosal" to see their newest prototype in development

zumzer0: Didnt know that comments helped. Will for each one now. Thanks

jack2452: hay jimmy i have fire fox but my sister played with with it and my bookmarks are gone but what can i do to get it back. PLZ help me

jimmyrcom: look in %appdata%/mozilla/firefox (enter than in your address bar in any folder. They probably just made a new profile.

jack2452: i did what you said but it's only showing Internet explorer bookmarks. and is their a way to prevent this from happing again? if so PLZ tell me

jack2452: lol. how do you prevent people from making new profile.

jimmyrcom: hide your computer from siblings and make copies for your profiles. Try the command "firefox.exe -profilemanager". They might have an option to input passwords.

jack2452: i made a vid about this so
com/watch?v=G5oGOSEY_Bk

jimmyrcom: search jimmyrcom camstudio. Your video is like setting the font size to 4 and then blurring it 100 times.

jack2452: ok man i got the new vid

waveoutgetselectcontrol()failed

jimmyrcom: 1. two questions that are completely off topic
2. You want me to spend time on you but didn't spend 1 second clicking subscribe.

ptekptek: Thanks for one more interesting tip!

Tubalug: So let's try Gmail. Never had an email adresse there.

purezelda: gr8 video now to make a Gmail account

eladbari: Jimmayyy! you should get a Politzer Prize :]

BeechSundowner: Gotta luv Gmail :-) especially with the space that keeps growing by the day.

DallasMorningNews: subscription invitation? how do you even send those?

Callahan420: Great tip Jimmy!Didnt know you could do that.Chin up and go!Peace!

rajeshkota: hey one serious question! do you research the stuff to find new things or will you find them accidentally?

kz10683: More like he has keen observation skills and common sense like the most of us

MajorDisaster4u: I enjoy your videos Jimmy. thanks

robinhoodlives: Nice !! wouldn't it be great if you could choose only to accept mail from your contacts.

TehBANN3D: you can, there's a "doesn't have" option. Still, that wouldn't really work, because you wouldn't get important Google notices when people wanted to add you or something wrong happened, and if you wanted to sign up for something, the filter would delete the invitation mail.

redslade: Way to go jimmy! Yay for educational youtubes!
Rock on! Good luck with the math RPG

JDilla2812: lol ive been using gmail since it came out and i never knew this

Bobertoq: Who cares gmail still kicks ass

TehBANN3D: gmail has had this since it was in its early invite only beta stages. I'm surprised no one knew that before this video.

hellomiranda: sweet i never knew bout that. :] thanks.

DongleProductions: The end was weird, but I still love you! I think you should do a tutorial on SQL injections.

roccigiovanniberrini: you know i love your knowledge
RgB

Bobertoq: How did you get that much spam? I never get anything under my spam folder because all spam is usually deleted. I would like to have a folder that shows my spam messages though.

tankyroo: lol i got gmail and i got my first "spam" e-mail today but thanks im gonna do that

moebob24: in the filter menu u choose "show current filters" u can delete and edit from there.

siberian1991: Nice! No more spam for me! Thanks man!

karinhiebert: I love your videos, they are all so educational and informative. You have a wonderful way of explaining things easily! I post a video response about long or short vids...yours are worthy of my time and most others would attest to that! keep them coming!

p0tater: i get a bunch of spammy stuff but if i filter it another one keeps coming! any thoughts?

atm4382: Hey I really enjoyed this explanation of Gmail fiters...you should think about doing more Gmail demo videos.

Dabiosi: And there's the fact I have 6 gigs of space I'll never use. I've had that email address for a few years with almost 3000 emails and i've only used 51 mbs.
Why 6gigs you ask? why the hell not?

hardcrush070: hay nice stuff buddy..really helpful.keep on ur good work..

MikeyKrew: thanks dude :-) i responded to this with a vid

juleskra: hey guy!
you are so brilliant, it's stupid! I love your videos. Keep it up!

Doomfirefp: Spam e-mail that is being filtered somehow gets into my inbox every now and then. Most of the time it doesn't. Anybody here know why?

unsungjo: You can also filter multiple sender in one filter like in done with comma in email. I couldn't get it to work so hope Jimmy can.

traveetrav: Keep up the good work very helpful video.
