You can append to your existing e-mail address in various ways, and this could be pretty useful for seeing who leaked your e-mail address to spammers. For example, for your bank, give them the address myaddress+banking@gamil.com. Then, if spammers send to that address, you can quickly see where they got the e-mail address from!
I’ve tested it with Proton Mail, and it works in exactly the same way.

I wonder why so many people found this option just now, because Gmail supports it since the beginning.
I configured my own mail server the same way. This mail tags are a great option to organize the own inbox. Works amazing, when the server also supports sieve.
Well I can answer that because I just read about it today and thought it was quite interesting. So many still don’t know about it hence the post.
I didn’t know about this until now.
Sorry for you both. It wasn’t meant personally, but more in general, because so many people don’t know about that feature.
Ok, it’s not advertised very much, either.
