If you have a Gmail account you can ad an "+Amazon"- or whatever- to then end. This allows you to easily categorize these emails, just in-case you do want to put them in the trash or use some other filter. Example: firstname.lastname+AMAZON@gmail.com
On a side note, you can also remove any periods(.) from an email. Example: firstname.lastname@gmail.com becomes firstnamelastname@gmail.com. I think this was done to help cut back on phishing and scamming, but I don't really know why.
- cyen 16y agofwiw, most email servers actually support the +notation
- baddox 16y agoIf you have a Gmail account, it won't work for this. You have to sign up with a .edu email account and verify that it's you.
- profgubler 16y agoI used my regular gmail/amazon account and it just had me add my .edu email. I think most comm will come through my gmail.
- woodall 16y agoThis is what I did last year when buying books. They used my .edu address to verify that I was at a university, but sent notifications to my Gmail. My university has since moved to Microsoft's Live service- retaining the .edu extension. I will try to see if the plus(+) notion works with it.
- baddox 16y agoOh. I already get a fair amount of amazon email to my gmail and I've already got filters set up, so if they send more I'll be prepared!
