It is very simple to use a single Gmail account for 100s of safelists and still be able to use that same Gmail account for regular e-mails. You just have to "filter" all those 1000s of safelist solo ads in separate folders, one folder for each safelist. You have to take the following steps:


1. click on the link named "Create a filter" (which appears on your Gmail account next to the "Search the Web" button, in the upper part of your Inbox)

2. in the "From" field, you put the SENDER name which appears in bold next to the words "to me" at the very left upper corner of any open e-mail message; to be able to see it, just open any e-mail message from your Inbox and you will see SENDER name in the very left upper corner of any e-mail message, written in bold letters (HINT: if you click on the "show details" link which appears a bit to the right of the SENDER name, then the word "from" will appear on the left of the SENDER name); so, put the SENDER name in the "From" field

3. hit the button "Next Step" which is just a bit lower and to the right of the "From" field

4. check the cases named "Skip the Inbox", "Apply the label" and "Never send it to Spam"; if there are more than one message from the same "SENDER" in your Inbox, you can also check the case named "Also apply filter to xxx conversations below"; after checking all these cases, go to the drop down menu called "Choose label..." (which is next to the "Apply the label" mark that you've just checked) and choose "New label..."; a small window appears and you will enter the choosen name ("label") of the folder where you will want all the SOLO e-mails from a certain safelist to go (it is convenient and logical to choose safelists' names as "labels"); then hit "OK"

5. final step: hit the "Create Filter" button and you're done! The separate folders will be placed one under another in alphabetical order, in a column on the left side of your Inbox; you can even mark each folder with a different colour such as "red" for the safelists where you are a "pro" member, "green" for those where you are just "free" member, "blue" for those where you can earn cash from converting points or clicking ads, etc.

Sometimes the "SENDER" changes his name so that his e-mails changes their arriving place too, i.e. they come again into your Inbox instead of their originally created folder. In such case, just repeat the steps above, putting the new SENDER name in the "From" field and choosing the formerly created label from the drop down menu (NOT a new one!), when you are asked to "Apply the label". Sometimes the SENDER name can change all the time so that it is impossible to "filter" the messages based on a "From" criteria. In such a case, when you're at step 2, you will choose the field "Has the words" instead of "From", as a filter criteria and will enter a specific part of the e-mail body text in the "Has the words" field (such as, in the case of safelist messages, a part of the credit link which contains the safelists domain name and a common extention, something like "listdomino.com/members")

From time to time, you will have to delete the old safelist e-mails from each separate folder to avoid that your Gmail account fills up completely. This is easy done as you have the option to check all messages from a given folder then delete them all with just 2 clicks!
