Have you ever (even by mistake) clicked on the Social or the Promotions section in your Gmail inbox? No, right? The exponentially piling number of promotional emails in there makes us automatically repel that part of our inbox. Now, the fact that there are people out there who bother to read such emails might be hard to believe. But to tell you, email marketing has become one of the most effective marketing strategies of the decade. Baffling, isn’t it? You, therefore, have to continue dealing with all the spam mails in your account, which is no doubt, quite frustrating. But what if we told you there is a way out? The answer is simple. Disposable emails! Here is a step-by-step guide on how to create a disposable email address with Gmail in 2022.
Disposable email addresses help keep your official email ID neat and tidy. These are email IDs created for temporary usage, such as for subscribing to a specific service that you want. Today, each software, platform, or digital solution requires you to register with your email ID to access its services. But the more people you submit your email to, the higher the number of advertisements or spam emails you receive. This is where disposable emails come into the picture. Although Gmail does not directly provide disposable email addresses, you can create aliases and filter out incoming mail for each alias ID. To create an email alias in Gmail, just follow the steps given below.
