One Gmail Email Address = Infinite Email Addresses

You may know a very interesting fact about your Gmail email address : you can use your regular email address as username@gmail.com and also username@googlemail.com. But, Gmail has many more options for you.

As many of you may be aware about your alternate Gmail email address – username@googlemail.com. You can use this email address too and surprisingly, all emails sent to this address will be received at your @gmail.com account.

But, do you know that if you own ONE Gmail email address, you have infinite email addresses?

That is true!

You can append a plus sign (“+”) followed by any text to your Gmail user name and hence can create as many email addresses as you want. If your Gmail user name is rockymike, then rockymike+pass@gmail.com is a valid email address for you. All emails sent to rockymike+pass@gmail.com will be delivered to rockymike@gmail.com account.

This option has many benefits! I reviewed Inbox Alias – a powerful disposable email tool. But, now you don’t need any disposable email service! Use Gmail filters for incoming emails for different emails addresses and hence, you can reduce email load. (and spams!) Suppose, you want to separate emails from some important contacts. Ask them to email you at username+imp@gmail.com and set a filter for this email address (using to: field).  Similarly, you can use another email address like username+xyz@gmail.com for signing-up for different services. Hence, you can organize your inbox easily.

Cheers!
