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

Introduction

• This feature is free, available for all Infomaniak email services, and allows you to have multiple versions of your existing email address (= aliases), in order to, for example, separate your personal emails from the newsletters you subscribe to.
• These "wildcard" aliases mean that a message can be addressed to an email address containing a + (for example, abc+def@domain.xyz) and it will still arrive in the existing abc@domain.xyz inbox and can be filtered and sorted automatically based on what is 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; if you have any problems, please 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 area that requires a username:

• Simply use a variation of your email address that includes the "+" sign (e.g., anna+event@domain.xyz) instead of entering your actual email address:
  

So, if your usual email address is anna@domain.xyz, emails sent to anna+event@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 subsequent 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 email.
