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 will have the possibility of being filtered and sorted automatically according to what is after the "+" if you set this up.
• Note that it is also possible to create real aliases without the + character ...
   

Using an 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 including 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+WhateverYouWant‍@domain.xyz will arrive in the inbox of anna@domain.xyz.

Then, to automatically move incoming messages sent to your aliases into specific folders, refer to this other guide to create sorting filters.

It is also possible to send emails from this type of address if you configure the sending address in this way.
