HOW TO CREATE MULTIPLE CUSTOM EMAIL ADDRESS WITH ONE GMAIL ACCOUNT
Did you know that you can create multiple email addresses with one Gmailaddress . Yes it is possible and not most of us are aware of the few tricks involved to achieve this. You may ask why would you need multiple email addresses for your Gmail address? Let me explain it to you.
The point here is to make multiple email address from your primary Gmail address and create unique email addresses for registering with different websites and services. In fact you can have many different email addresses for your primary Gmail address, but all the mails send to these secondary email addresses will be received in your primary Gmail addresses inbox.
This way you can create a filter for each of the custom email address associated with your Gmail account and easily organize emails from different services and websites. If in any case a website starts sending spam into your inbox , you can easily set the specific filter in your Gmail account to delete all the mails instantly when received in your inbox.
Now lets find out how we can create multiple email addresses from your Gmail address. There are two methods for creating multiple email addresses for your Gmail address.
Method 1: Using “+” annotation in your Gmail address
If you want to create multiple email addresses from your Gmail address then you can use the “+” symbol to add another word to your Gmail address. For example,
Suppose your Gmail address is peterparker@Gmail.com and you want to create a custom email address for signing with amazon.com . To create this custom email address , all you need to do is just add the keyword “amazon “ before or after your username in your email address like this “ peterparker+amazon@Gmail.com” or “amazon+peterparker@gmail.com” and sign up with it on Amazon.com. Now all the emails from both these emails will be sent to your primary Gmail address at peterparker@Gmail.com .

Method 2: Using dots in your Gmail address

For example ,
Lets take your email address to be brucewayne@Gmail.com . If you add a dot anywhere within the words “brucewayne” , Gmail will always ignore the dots. Example you can create multiple emails address like the below :
- bruce.wayne@Gmail.com
- br.uc.ew.ay.ne@Gmail.com
- bruce.way.ne@Gmail.com
- b.r.u.c.e.w.a.y.n.e@Gmail.com and a lot more .
