Curious if proton routes emails like gmail? What I mean by that is on gmail you can create [email protected] and it will route to [email protected]

So my question is, does proton do the same?

Thanks

    Plus addressing is a standard feature of email. It allows you to add arbitrary text after the user name. This can be useful in a variety of ways like sorting or identifying the source of the email. I use it sometimes when I sign up for a random service. It’ll let me know they shared my email with a third party if I get emails from other sources with the same +text. Only works for that if they are too lazy to strip the +text, though.

      OK so similar to Proton alias, except less cryptic addresses to enter
