What is Plus Addressing and How Does It Work?
Plus addressing is a simple way to create variations of your email address without needing multiple accounts. It works by adding a "+" and custom text to your existing email address.
For example, if your email is example@gmail.com, you can use example+client1@gmail.com or example+client2@gmail.com, and all emails will still be delivered to your main inbox.
The part after the "+" sign acts as a label, helping you identify or organize emails. Many email providers like Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, and Yahoo support this feature.
