Disposable Gmail Addresses
This trick allows you to instantly create a disposable email address – to sign up with a website for instance.
Let’s say your name is Jane Doe and your email address is jane.doe@gmail.com. Let’s say you want to sign up one of those deal of the day websites like Groupon but you’re worried they might sell your address to spammers. Well, you can sign up using this address:
jane.doe+groupon@gmail.com
The emails from Groupon will come into your jane.doe inbox, but the “to” field will be “jane.doe+groupon@gmail.com” and you will can filter them to the trash if you want.
Brilliant! Thanks for the tip!
