This is a nice feature that Gmail has and no so much people is aware of. With Gmail you can create unlimited aliases with your email, and it is automatically supported you don’t need to do anything, so in that case you can have like multiple accounts and that feature can help you to manage in a better way your email.

Let’s see how to use it.

Suppose that you have a an account like myemail@gmail.com then you receives a ton of emails in it.
Now you can use different alias for different sources, so in case that you are subscribed to a group or newsletter you can sign in that group with an alias that will point to your email account.

In case for example that you are in a group for work, sport team or another you can set it up the email as follows:
Twitter : myemail+twitter@gmail.com
SportTeam : myemail+team@gmail.com
News : myemail+news@gmail.com

Rules

• It should have the same username.
• It should ends with @gmail.com
• You should use “+” character to append the alias that you want.

After that, you will receive in the same inbox myemail@gmail.com all the email but you can create the appropriate rules to manage/move/delete the emails, another interesting thing is whether you see a lot of spam in a particular alias you can immediately know which account causes that 😉

Enjoy it and use it!
