What you can do with this is actually pretty useful.<\/p>\n<p>You can achieve this with a technique called \u201cplus addressing.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/unlimited-gmail-addresses\/unlimited-gmail-addresses.jpg\" alt=\"gmail address\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Plus addressing<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cPlus addressing\u201d is a method offered by certain email services, like Gmail, allowing users to add a <code>+<\/code> followed by any sequence of characters to their email prefix, right before the <code>@<\/code> symbol. This technique enables users to sort and categorize incoming emails without setting up an entirely new email account.<\/p>\n<p>To utilize this feature, just insert a <code>+<\/code> after your email prefix and append any desired sequence, ensuring there are no spaces or special characters.<\/p>\n<p>For example, say your Gmail address is <code>johndoe@gmail.com<\/code>. To take advantage of plus addressing, you can use the following email addresses as well:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>johndoe<strong>+123<\/strong>@gmail.com<\/code><\/li>\n<li><code>johndoe<strong>+abc<\/strong>@gmail.com<\/code><\/li>\n<li><code>johndoe<strong>+xyz<\/strong>@gmail.com<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Think of these as brand new email addresses that, when used to sign up for something online or given to someone, will forward emails back to your original <code>johndoe@gmail.com<\/code>.<\/p>\n<p>So, why would you do this, right? Well, for one, you can use this trick to get unlimited free trials from any service that requires an email address. When the trial is over, simply sign up again with another email address using the prefix, for example, <code>johndoe+<\/code> and you\u2019re back in!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Engaging in deceptive practices like signing up for multiple free trials can be against the terms of service for many companies. Always ensure you\u2019re acting ethically and within the terms of any agreement you enter.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason is to filter out spammers. For example, if you start getting spam at <code>johndoe<strong>+shopping<\/strong>@gmail.com<\/code>, you\u2019ll know the source is likely a shopping-related sign-up.<\/p>\n<h2>Dot addressing<\/h2>\n<p>If you don\u2019t like using the <code>+<\/code> symbol, you can also use the <code>.<\/code> symbol, and it will work just as well.<\/p>\n<p>Examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>johndoe<strong>.123<\/strong>@gmail.com<\/code><\/li>\n<li><code>johndoe<strong>.abc<\/strong>@gmail.com<\/code><\/li>\n<li><code>johndoe<strong>.xyz<\/strong>@gmail.com<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simplify your inbox with Gmail&#8217;s plus addressing to sort emails and dodge spammers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3398],"tags":[532,137,3180],"topic":[],"class_list":["entry-content","is-maxi"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.8 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
