Gmail ignores periods in emails. It also ignores everything after the +.
So if your email is bob@gmail.com you can also use:
b.ob@gmail.com,
b.o.b@gmail.com,
bob+alice@gmail.com,
You can use the second one to do filtering. I.e. use a different +{filter} for bills, entertainment etc.
bob+bills@gmail.com for bills.
bob+spam@gmail.com for sites you know will spam you etc.
then setup mail rules to filter based on the +
- azthecx 7y agoWhat if my email IS a.bob.mail@gmail.com, if someone registers abobmail@gmail.com are they getting my emails?
- MrOxiMoron 7y agono, Gmail does check for that during registration. But you could use those two different email addresses to create two separate accounts somewhere else.
- stef25 7y agoThere's a slight chance the gmail developers would have thought of that scenario.
- osrec 7y agoI knew about the + sign, but not about the period. Thanks for that - will come in handy!
