Comment on Microsoft sneaks ads into the new Outlook for Windows
PiJiNWiNg@sh.itjust.works 9 months agoMade the switch last year from Gmail and I love it. I set up a custom domain and a catch all address as well, so I can give out whateveriwant@mydomain.com as an email and it gets to me. Particularly nice for finding out who’s sharing my information, as well as picking out phishing emails. Banking coming in from amazon@mydomain.com? Immediate red flag.

Forgot about the catchall, but the realPart+fakegarbgae@myDomain.com trick works great for filtering stuff.

You should note that this was a Gmail feature that is now made available by a bunch of email providers, but you might wanna check that you do indeed get your emails delivered to plus addresses before you rush out to change your contact info everywhere.

Some sites also reject the + emails.
I wonder why…

My current provider supports @somegarbage.mail.domain.com style which is a good alternative to the + sign thing.
