I know you can filter emails in Gmail by utilizing plus signs (e.g., bob+something@gmail.com). But is there a way to filter for the opposite - that is, include emails in gmail only where a plus sign is included (and regardless of what it is)? E.g., only show bob+xx@gmail.com or bob+zz@gmail.com, but not bob@gmail.com?

You can try creating a filter for each of these Create a filter with on the Use the filter to apply a label and then you can just view emails under this label. It's not very scalable if you have a lot of these types of address to filter on, but it will work if there are only a handful, and it will prevent you from having to run a script. |

You could search for all emails addressed to bob@gmail.com (which would not return bob+anything@gmail.com), apply a label to them, and then filter for all email without that label. This will also pick up emails that you receive at addresses other than bob, but if there are a limited number of such addresses you could also search for them and apply the same label. |

You can use It is used to exclude terms from your search. Example: Meaning: Messages that contain the word "nerd" but do not contain the word "dinner". Try it. You can read better on Google Support. |

foo+bar@gmail.comthen the answer is that e-mail addresses cannot contain + signs. If you didn't meant this, your question is formulated quite weirdly... – Steven Roose Jun 21 '12 at 20:31to:bob+*@gmail.comwould work, but it doesn't. – Al Everett Jun 22 '12 at 2:58
