Why and how using an email alias?
Fabian Piau | Friday October 11th, 2013 - 07:12 PMWebmails like Gmail, Hotmail include lot of features. Some are not very well known like aliases. Indeed, it is possible to receive messages sent to [email protected].
There is nothing to configure, aliases are already active. The ‘+’ does the trick!
| Sent to | Delivered to |
|---|---|
| [email protected] | [email protected] |
| [email protected] | [email protected] |
| [email protected] | [email protected] |
| [email protected] | [email protected] |
You can set up filters on your aliases to automatically direct these messages to the trash, apply a label or star, skip the inbox, or forward to another email account.
An alias can be useful in many situations, including when:
- An email address is mandatory to activate an account
- You want to participate to a game to win a prize
- You want to receive some newsletters but skip your main inbox
- You are looking for a job and want to know where a recruiter has found your resume
