CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@thetruejona I guess you'd have to set up a filter for that matching against To. That does sound like a useful feature to have by default without special setup.

@thetruejona I just sent a test email to username+asdfjasdjgasd@gmail.com and it worked, forwarded the email just fine to my regular address.

edit: Oh, unless you meant like, a sub-folder in gmail with that name. Never tried that.

That is a delightfully over-engineered solution and it definitely works well. Tagged addresses are going to be inferior but much simpler. Also spammers would be looking for tagged addresses.

As to how, just add +string to the username of a Gmail address. It'll go to your main box. Easy to filter if needed.

Many email servers support that syntax. Others like qmail use -string.

Tagged email addresses accomplish much the same thing!
