Email aliasing is a good solution for online privacy and email organization without using multiple Email accounts.

Yahoo mail alias can be configured directly in setup, but Gmail alias seems no where to be found.

Here is a hidden feature I found which realizes Gmail aliasing in an interesting way:

Appending ANY suffix with “+” to your Gmail ID effectively creates an alias

For example, assume my Gmail address is myname@gmail.com, then I can use following Gmail addresses as alias of my main account:

  • myname+notification@gmail.com
  • myname+vip@gmail.com

Try it and enjoy!
