Then click "Next Step" and you'll get something like this: Then in the To box enter "user+X" (without the quotes - in fact it works with or without quotes, it's just less work if you leave them out): To do this you'd first click "Create a filter" (to the right of the search box): Suppose your correspondence with X is about your truck (nod in the direction of redryder52 aka Kirk!).You could automatically tag all emails sent to this alias with the label "truck" (so that when you click on the "truck" label you can see all the correspondence you've tagged with that label, grouped together). One solution may be to use something like if you get someone truly dim who utterly refuses to accept Hopefully you won't!
You give them as your email address, not but say companies' staff can get quite confused if you include their company's name as part of your email address, especially if you give them the address on the phone. Suppose you're filling in a Webform for company X because you want to buy something from them or ask them a question. by the same token you can use Gmail aliases as disposable email addresses to handle spam more effectively.Īliases and FiltersHere's an example of using an alias.you can apply Gmail filters to individual aliases to help organise your correspondence (see below), and.a slash or ampersand in the email address, so the safest bet really is to stick to letters, numbers and dots for the bit after the "+" sign Bear in mind though that some email programs won't let allow email to be sent if there is e.g. some punctuation like "!" or symbols like hyphen, underscore etc, or a mixture (but not or spaces, commas or semicolons or quotes backslash won't do either though forward slash will - just experiment trying to send all sorts of combinations to yourself, if you really want to know!). or longer if you wish, and can consist of letters, numbers, dots/periods and even stuff you can't have in a normal Gmail username (as to which see the end of this post), e.g. the bit after the "+" sign in the alias can be just one character long (e.g.you can have as many aliases as you like per Gmail username.
(Gmail usernames in fact can't be less than 6 letters long (see this post for more on Gmail usernames), so I deliberately used "user" in my example to avoid inadvertently hijacking someone's real username). What's a Gmail alias? Well if your Gmail username is "user", then a Gmail alias is an email addresss in the format "user All emails sent to an alias in that format will be received by you at the account.
