The Infinite Alias Technique: How to Transform Your Inbox into an Organized War Machine

Does your inbox look like a battlefield?

If you're like 90% of people, your inbox is a kind of formless digital soup where everything floats together:

Your bank's transfer confirmation.
A 20% off coupon for cat food (even though you don't have a cat).
A LinkedIn notification from someone you haven't seen since high school.
And somewhere in the middle, that ultra-important email from your lawyer that took you three days to find.

The problem isn't your organization. The problem is that you give the same key (your unique email address) to everyone. It’s like giving the keys to your house to your banker, your pizza delivery guy, and your dentist.

It’s time to switch to the Infinite Alias Technique.

Why Gmail's "+" Trick is a False Good Idea

Power users often know the plus sign trick (myaddress+newsletter@gmail.com). It’s a start, but it’s a sieve.

Why?

It's easy to bypass: Any basic spam script can strip whatever is between the + and the @ to find your real address.
It's ugly: Many sites refuse addresses containing a +.
It's permanent: If the +spam alias starts getting too many emails, you can't delete it without deleting your entire account.

We need a more muscular solution.

The Concept: "One Use, One Identity"

The Infinite Alias Technique relies on a simple principle: your primary email address should never be typed into a web form. Ever.

It should remain a jealously guarded secret, used only to log into your JunkMail account. For everything else, you create silos.

1. The "Shopping" Silo (`shopping@your-prefix.junkmail.site`)

Use this address for Amazon, eBay, and all online stores.

The Advantage: If you receive a suspicious ad on this address, you know exactly which site sold your profile.
The Hack: If a shop gets too pushy with its promos, just kill the forwarding.

2. The "Reading & Newsletters" Silo (`reading@your-prefix.junkmail.site`)

The Advantage: Your main inbox stays zen. You only read these emails when you decide to open your JunkMail interface or your dedicated folder.

3. The "Official" Silo (`official@your-prefix.junkmail.site`)

For serious services (but not your bank).

The Advantage: Increased security. If a hacker tries to log into your tax account using your primary email, they will fail because the identifier is different.

How to Set This Up (Without Spending All Day on It)

Setting up this organization with JunkMail takes about 5 minutes per category.

Step 1: Define Your Life Domains

Identify the 3 or 4 main types of emails you receive (Work, Shopping, Newsletters, Tests).

Step 2: Create Persistent Addresses

Using JunkMail Pro or Business, create addresses that don't auto-delete. Give them clear visual aliases (e.g., "Shopping Silo").

Step 3: Configure Smart Forwarding

Enable Forwarding to your primary mailbox. Pro tip: In your mail software (Gmail, Outlook), create an auto-filter: "If the mail is sent to shopping@..., then move to the SHOPPING folder and skip the inbox."

The Result: Mental Clarity Restored

Once this structure is in place, your life changes radically:

Zero Noise: Your primary inbox now only shows messages from humans (friends, colleagues). Everything else is automatically filed into silos.
Power of Destruction: A service starts spamming you? Don't bother looking for the unsubscribe link (which never works anyway). Go to JunkMail and hit DELETE. End of story.
Total Traceability: You become the detective of your own data. "Wait, I'm getting a crypto ad on the address I only gave to that cooking site. Interesting..."

Conclusion

Email isn't dead; our way of using it is just obsolete. In 2026, owning only one email address is like wearing the same t-shirt to sleep, work out, and go to a wedding: it’s ill-suited and eventually starts to smell.

Adopt the Infinite Alias Technique. Compartmentalize. Breathe.
