Gmail's "plus addressing" is a feature that allows you to add a plus (+) sign and any sequence of letters or numbers to the end of your Gmail address. For example, [email protected] will reach your [email protected] inbox.
How it Works
When Google's servers see a plus sign in an email address, they ignore everything between the plus and the @ symbol. This effectively means you have nearly infinite email addresses that all point to your one main account.
Key Benefits
- Filter by Source: Create a filter so that all mail sent to [email protected] goes to a "Bills" folder automatically.
- Identify Data Leaks: If you sign up for a sketchy site using [email protected] and then get spam sent to that address from someone else, you know who sold your data.
- Temporary IDs: Use short-lived aliases for signups that require email verification.
