Have you ever needed an extra email address? We are not talking about having a personal email address plus a work email. We are talking about unlimited Gmail email addresses.
If you’re a Google Gmail or Google Workspace user, did you know you can get unlimited email addresses? Sorry Microsoft.
If your already using Google Workspace or Cpanel we could also set up a Catch All / Default email to achieve something similar.

How to get unlimited email addresses
Google ignores anything after a plus symbol + in any email address.
Unlimited Google Workspace Emails
When we are using Google Workspace as our email provider. Just add +facebook, +twitter or +ilovecats before the @ symbol
Example
If your email is headchef@itrecipes.co.uk we can add + then a keyword before the @ and still receive an email
Unlimited Gmail Emails
This little trick will also work on personal Google Mail accounts
If our email is itecipes@gmail.com we can add + then a keyword before the @ and still receive an email
Also personal Gmail address allow us to add dots anywhere into our email i.t.recipes@gmail.com
Another unlimited email trick is to use googlemail.com and gmail.com, as a Gmail user you can use both googlemail and gmail.
Give it a go, send yourself an email with the plus note or dots and see if it arrives your first step towards unlimited Gmail email addresses.
Why do I need more email addresses?
Using any of the above tricks we can see which companies sell our data and get an idea of who too. For example, when we signed up to Instagram we used itrecipes1+instagram@gmail.com
When sharing our email with friends we use itrecipes1@googlemail.com.
This allows us to use Google mails built-in filters to sort out the spam from the newsletters and genuine enquiries.
