Using Different Aliases In Gmail Can Help You Manage Your Emails More Efficiently And Protect Your Privacy

---

Using different aliases in Gmail can help you manage your emails more efficiently and protect your privacy. There are two ways to use aliases in Gmail: using a variation of your existing email address or adding another email address that you own.

How To Add Email Alias
To use a variation of your existing email address, you can add a plus sign (+) and any word before the @ sign. For example, if your email address is [email protected], you can use [email protected] or [email protected] as aliases. You can also add dots (.) anywhere in the local part of your email address. For example, [email protected] and [email protected] are the same address. You can use these variations to filter and sort your incoming emails².


To use another email address that you own as an alias, you need to verify that you own that address and add it to your Gmail account. To do that, follow these steps:
