This guide explains how to easily sort your messages using Plus Addressing ("+ addressing" or "sub-addressing"), i.e., aliases of your email address that do not need to be actually created on an Infomaniak Mail Service.

Preamble

• This feature is free and allows you to have multiple versions of your existing email address (= alias), in order to, for example, separate your personal emails from the newsletters you are subscribed to.
• These "wildcard" type aliases mean that a message can be sent to an email address containing a + (for example abc+def@domain.xyz) and it will still arrive in the existing mailbox abc@domain.xyz and have the possibility of being filtered and sorted automatically based on what comes after the "+" if you set this up.
• Note that it is also possible to create real aliases without the + character...
• Infomaniak is fully compatible with the DEA system on which the feature presented here depends; in case of any issues, contact the organization on which it is used.

Using a “disposable” alias with an Infomaniak email address

The next time you sign up for a newsletter or a customer account that requires a username:

• Simply use a formulation of your email address that includes the "+" sign (example: anna+newsletter‍@domain.xyz) instead of providing your actual email address.

So if your usual email address is anna@domain.xyz, emails sent to anna+newsletter‍@domain.xyz or anna+nospam@domain.xyz (in short, anna+"whatever you want here"@domain.xyz ...) will arrive in the inbox of anna@domain.xyz.

Next, to automatically move incoming messages sent to your aliases into specific folders, refer to this other guide to create sorting filters based on the recipient of the received message.
