GMail plus “+” sign to create sub email addresses

Posted in Technology on the March 22nd, 2007

GMail allows the use of + in the email address and ignores everything after it. So for example if your email address is someone@gmail.com then you could use someone+mailing@gmail.com and that email would still reach you. Then in GMail you could search for someone+mailing and all the emails sent to someone+mailing@gmail.com will be shown. You could essentially create unlimited sub email addresses. Whats even better is that you can create multiple sub emails and give everyone a separate email address. Then you can keep track of who sells/distributes your email address to others and you can just filter that sub email out. Sweet!
