For example, if your username was johndoe, you could create a junk email address as john.doe@gmail.com and assign a label to it. You could also do this multiple times either by moving the character or by using another. For example, let's say I also wanted to do this for all of my amazon emails, but didn't want them labeled as "junk". I'd set up another account as john+doe@gmail.com or johnd.oe@gmail.com and assign another label. Maybe other web based services do this already, but I didn't think so.
