Well, unless someone at evernote has an email that happens to correspond to my project name, I'm assuming that they go undelivered. It's a valid question, however. I suppose a better approach would be to use fake emails going to @example.com, since that domain has been setup specifically for use in examples, documentation, etc, so it's a sure thing those will not ever be delivered to anyone. I just have been using @evernote.com as sort of a memory jog, in case I one day wonder, "Why the heck do I have this email in my contacts??" :-)

Tags would be wonderful. The workaround I'm currently using is to create Contacts (I'm on a Mac, but I assume there is an equivalent on Windows) for what would otherwise be tags (usually names of Projects that I'm working on), and then assigning tasks (I always create tasks inside Notes) to those Contacts. In this way, I can then see Tasks by Assignee/Tag in the 'Assigned' tab of the Tasks list, as well as sort and search by the Assignee/Tag that the task is assigned to. There is no way to apply a Filter-proper by Assignee, but typing the Contact name or email into the search box when on the 'Assigned' tab filters the list in place. I give the Contact/Tag a meaningful name for the Contact First Name (again, in the Mac Contacts app), and then a shortcut name for the email. An email must be set for the Contact, in order to be able to assign it in Evernote. All of these are fake Contacts and emails, and I've got them in the general form 'My Flowery Project Name' for the Contact first name, and 'myprojname@evernote.com' for the email. Anyway, it's not real sophisticated, but it's been working well enough for me thus far. It's no substitute for a real tagging capability, though. (And if you regularly have tasks that you assign to other actual people in Evernote, this approach could become a mess...)
