Multiple email addresses for one Gmail Account
I’m a huge fan of Google’s online applications: GMail, Google Reader, etc. One little known feature of GMail which I find myself using over and over again is the ability to add extra metadata to my gmail email address to let me know where the email came from.
Let’s say that I have a gmail address: sean@gmail.com
Now if I am signing up for a newsletter at XYZ Corp. I can register with the email address sean+xyz@gmail.com You can put in any extra alphanumeric information after the plus sign and it still gets delivered to sean@gmail.com. Furthermore you can apply a filter in Gmail to process the email a certain way based on the email address that you signed you for (sean+xyz@gmail.com).
One handy use of this feature is to track where emails are coming from so if you started to get spammed for instance you will know which address was passed onto a third party.

It seems as though nearly everyone has at least two email addresses these days, and it’s not uncommon to have upwards of four that are used on a regular basis for separate purposes.
Thank you for this excellent write-up!!
Hi,
Thanks for the write up, it will be interesting to see who is selling our email.
We have signed up for Google apps as 1 user with multiple alias which is working fine.
The problem we have is that we have multiple domains and would like to view all the accounts / emails in one gmail account, do you know if we could do this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks sdeasy for the following, worked perfectly:

Hello, my question is somewhat related…. I have two gmail accounts, but for some reason, when someone sends me mail to address B it also comes to address A. But not the other way around.
What is going on??
p.s. I do not have them joined and I have not added address A to address Bs account info, and visa versa.
Thank you so much for your help

How do I add multiple gmail addresses?
If everybody learnes this, then the spamers will just leave off the letters or numbers behind the + sign and the main account will be spamed on end.
Would like to delete the extra e-mail address I’ve added. Do not know how.
This site definitely has all the information and facts I needed
concerning this subject and didn’t know who to ask.
