One email to rule them all<\/strong><\/p>\n Suffix support gives you the power of multiple email addresses, allowing you to easily identify and filter emails from all of your various senders, all from one account.<\/p>\n How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n Suffix support means that in addition to “address@”<\/em>\u00a0you can also receive mail at “address+extrastuff@.<\/em>” The text after the “+” is controlled by you.<\/p>\n Let me provide some real-world examples. I use john@xmission.com<\/em> as both my work and personal email address. I subscribe to all kinds of mailing lists and have transactions with countless customers, friends, family, retailers, and more. Using suffix support I can easily identify and filter messages.<\/p>\n Here are some example addresses:<\/p>\n john+bills@xmission.com \u00a0 \u00a0 john+zimbraforums@xmission.com<\/em><\/p>\n john+wikipedia@xmission.com \u00a0 \u00a0 john+viplist@xmission.com<\/em><\/p>\n All variants of this address land in my inbox or are easily filtered to specific folders.<\/p>\n We can use Flynn as another example. Flynn has @xmlocal.com email domain hosted at XMission and suffix support works the same way.<\/p>\n flynn+amazonorders@xmlocal.com \u00a0 \u00a0 flynn+adminlist@xmlocal.com<\/p>\n You get the idea.<\/p>\n Prevent and track spam<\/strong><\/p>\n Sometimes I don’t know if I trust the website I’m entering my email address on and want to protect myself from spam and track their reliability.<\/p>\n In these cases I use the website name: john+sitename@xmission.com<\/p>\n If I start getting unexpected email from other domains to their custom address I can easily terminate my subscription with that website and filter future emails to the trash bin.<\/p>\n Visit the XMission suffix support wiki page <\/a>for simple instructions.<\/p>\n Note:<\/em>\u00a0This works for traditional @xmission.com mail accounts as well as our\u00a0Zimbra Personal Premium<\/a>\u00a0@xmission.com accounts, and any hosted Zimbra email<\/a> accounts.<\/p>\n If you want a deeper dive into this technology behind suffix support<\/em> it is called\u00a0Variable Envelope Return Path<\/a> (VERP).
