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 box abc@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.
