Hi, you all probably know the trick for prelabeling an email by adding a keyword to the email address after a plus sign `+` (e.g. john+nextAction@gmail.com) and then creating a filter that sets the emails with the label nextAction. Well I always thought this was extremelly useful (unless you are using GTDInbox Smiley), but I also always thought this worked for only one label. Well, to my surprise, to prelabel with more than one label (e.g. nextAction and errands), all one has to do is send the email to (e.g. john+nextAction+errands@gmail.com) and create two filters, both filters will filter every email sent to facundobromberg+nextAction+errands@gmail.com, one of them assigning the label nextAction and the other assigning the label errands. Gmail recognizes the two filters and assigns the two labels!.

Yes, and you can set up multiple filters for other kinds of emails as well. For instance, you could label all emails from someone as Important with one filter and mark them Next Action with another.
