I recently started using the + symbol method in GMail to set up multiple accounts relating to my personal email address (social , personal , work , etc), and now I want to use the same method for my business.

But, I'm wondering how to format my emails properly as I have some sub-divisions under my parent business. Is it possible to use multiple + symbols, or is it best to use a . or a -?

I'll give an example:

[email protected] // Main Business Email

[email protected] // Sub Division Email

[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

Any recommendations as to which can, or should be used?

You only get one '+' per email address, but you're free to use '-' or '.' (or both) after the plus. In your case, all the these would be valid:

[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

...and so on. Basically the plus has to come immediately after the primary address and anything that follows (except another plus) is ignored.

    Thank you. I like the way you've used multiple dashes and the dot in the third line of your example. Very useful for what I want to achieve.
