Good, simple photo catalog? There have been several questions like this over the years; but they're all either too old to be of much use, or their focus is different from mine. I'm a serious amateur photographer. I have several thousand digital images, and I'm looking for software to help me organize them.

Please tell me everything I need to know about the GMail dot feature (placing - or not placing - a dot in the username of a gmail email address). I don't understand it, how to use it, what it does and how to take advantage of it. As an email receiver and sender. Also, what problems are created with this? Is there a way I can use it to categorize email, both received and sent?
