Create a temporary email alias to filter incoming mail
This guide explains how to easily sort your messages using the Plus Addressing ("+ addressing" or "sub-addressing") i.e. aliases of your email address that do not need to be actually created on a Mail Service Infomaniak.
Preamble
- This feature is free and allows you to have multiple versions of your existing email address (= alias), in order to e.g. separate your personal emails from the newsletters to which you subscribe.
- These "wildcard" aliases therefore mean that a message can be sent to an email address containing a
+
(e.g.abc+def@domain.xyz
) and it will nevertheless arrive in the existing boxabc@domain.xyz
and will have the ability to be filtered and sorted automatically depending on what is after the "+" if you put it in place. - It should be noted that there is also the possibility of create real aliases without character
+
...
Use an alias with an Infomaniak email address
The next time you sign up for a newsletter or customer area that requires a username:
- Simply use a formulation of your email address including the "+" sign (example: anna+newsletter@domain.xyz) instead of entering your real email address.
So if your usual email address is anna@domain.xyz, the e-mails addressed to anna+newsletter@domain.xyz or anna+What You Want@domain.xyz will arrive in the inbox of anna@domain.xyz.
Then, to automatically move into specific folders the next incoming messages sent to your alias, take note of this other guide to create sorting filters.
It is also possible to send e-mails from this type of address if you configure the sending address in this sense.
âš Infomaniak is fully compatible with the system DEA which depends on the functionality presented above; in case of problem contact the organism on which it is used.
