Gmail

Create alternate gmail addresses instantly

Here are two ways you can get multiple gmail addresses and still get all your mail in one mailbox. You can use these modifications to better filter your email based on what email address you give, and no need to setup multiple gmail accounts. These tips give you alternative email address.

1. You can add “+” sign and some words after your email name and that mail would still arrive to your inbox. For example, if you have email “name@gmail.com”, you can use “name+statements@gmail.com”, or “name+work@gmail.com” and these will go to your inbox. This also makes filtering in the gmail very easy as you can use these new send to emails as filters. there is unlimited number of these you can use, and no need to set up anything upfront.

2. You can place “.” anywhere in your email name and it would still go to your inbox. For example for “name@gmail.com”, you can use “na.me@gmail.com” or “nam.e@gmail.com” and it would still go to your inbox.
