This is not a gmail trick. It has been in common usage at least since the very early 90s (but may predate that), it was a fairly universal convention.
- jeroenhd 4y agoIt's not universal, though. When my local university switched over from Gmail to Office 365, they made the ingenious decision to disable + aliases at the same time. Emails to unknown addresses are rejected like any non-existent email address. This means that anyone who registered an account with a + address could no longer access their services. Hope nobody forgets their password for that one critical service that doesn't let you change your email address!
