Gmail is a handy feature that you may not know

Do you know that you can customize your Gmail address, something that can help you keep track of who sends you? ; Below we will see what you can do by simply using a few extra characters in Google email

Let's first look at something that can you already know:

You can place a dot (.) between any of the characters in the its user of your email. Gmail does not recognize it as a character in the username. He completely ignores her.

The pro ending can be useful in long and multi-word e-mail addresses. Separates the sequence of characters and makes the address easier to read.

For example, if your email is iguru@gmail.com, you can type it as sec.news@gmail.com and Gmail will still see it as your home address. If you want, you can also use igurr@gmail.com, but it's a bit excessive.

However, be aware that you cannot use a full stop at the beginning or end of your username or use two or more consecutive ones.

Let's see now what you can do with the plus sign (+).

Yes you can also use the plus sign (+) to add any number of words or numbers at the end of the username. Just like the dot, Gmail ignores the plus sign and everything else. This allows you to customize and create an endless array of email addresses.

This feature is especially useful for newletters and sites that require an email address to sign up because you can add the site name to organize your inbox.

For example, if you want to subscribe to the iguru.gr newsletter, iguru@gmail.com can become iguru+newsletter@gmail.com. The newsletter will still go to the inbox of the first address, but it seems to have been sent to "iguru+newsletter@gmail.com".

You can also use the plus sign between many words like this: iguru+lets+add+more+words@gmail.com.

Why else can you use the plus sign in your address? If you suspect that an organization may sell your information.

The trick can add her name ς στην οποία καταχωρίσατε το emails σας. Έτσι αν δείτε το ίδιο email να te to send you you will know who the culprit is.
