Google Aliases

Posted by Archit Jain on June 29, 2009

Many of you might not be knowing that if you have 1 gmail id … you have infinte gmail ids…

Seems to be a joke.. It’s not actually…

for e.g  if you have gmail id:

 myid@gmail.com

then the mail sent to following ids will also be received by your mailbox:

myid+8char@gmail.com  8char can be any valid charcter set of max 8 characters

myid@googlemail.com

my.id@gmail.com

m.y.id@gmail.com

myi.d@gmail.com

 

As gmail ignores .’s in its username..

 

an alias made by mixture of various such alias is also an alias for your id.

like

my.i.d+love@googlemail.com will alsodirect uts mail to your inbox.

You can use it to filter your e-mails from some sources by giving them aloas id and then using a filter with to field..
