Plus-addressing lets you create an alias on the fly

September 5, 2024 Andersen Leave a comment

Email aliases are great – they help organize emails, reduce spam and protect our identity. But sometimes we need a quick way to create an alias without having to log in to our account to set it up. That’s when we can use plus-addressing, or subaddressing.

You simply add a + to your email address followed by a tag.

For example, if your email address is bob@nullrunbox.com, you can create a tag bob+shopping@nullrunbox.com, or bob+news@nullrunbox.com. You can use any tag, and make up as many as you like. 

Any email sent to a plus-address is delivered to your account as usual. The message is still addressed to the plus-address, and you can use this in various ways to manage your email.

Plus-addressing benefits

  • Make up addresses on the fly without having to set anything up in your Runbox account.
  • Works with any email address, alias or domain.
  • Use a plus-address to identify sites where you used your email address.
  • Plus-addresses can help hide your main email address. 
  • Use a different tag for each site so that if one has a data leak you know which one it is.
  • Filter email to specific folders based on the plus-addressing.
  • Create a filter to delete email to that particular plus address if it starts receiving spam.

Plus-addressing and email aliases are great tools to manage your email. With a Runbox account you get unlimited plus-addressing and 100 email aliases. If you have your own domain name, you get unlimited aliases. Check out this post for more info about aliases.

You can get more details about plus-addressing here.
