How to Use Plus Addressing in Gmail

Share

A great way to filter incoming messages is to use plus-addressing in Gmail.

• Steps

1. Get a Gmail account.
2. Go to the external site you want to sign up for e.g. Facebook, Myspace, eBay or Amazon.
3. When asked to enter your e-mail address, add a suffix of a plus sign and the name of the service. Add this to the end of your name, but before the @ sign. For example: JoeSmith+Facebook@gmail.com
4. Create a label in Gmail.
5. Create a filter and enter the same e-mail address you just used in the "To:" field.
6. Choose to label all messages sent to that address.
