GMail Users

Gmail also allows you to create free aliases tied to your primary inbox. They are handy for filtering mail or seeing how your email address ended up on a spam list.

This is the handiest privacy feature built into Gmail – You can make an alias on the fly. You can easily create a new email address by simply making an alias. Just add a plus sign and a word after your user name to your email address, like this: “username+aliasname@gmail.com.”

One handy use is associating all your recurring subscription services to one alias, like this: “username+bills@gmail.com.” Then you can easily sort all the incoming mail to this email address or set up a filter to automatically send them to one spot. This is also a good way to see if a company is selling your email address. If you get a strange message, you see which email address of yours it was sent to.

This information has been compiled and tested from information found on a number of different websites and blog posts.
