How To Mass Create Gmail Accounts

Download Article

If your inbox is a mess of social media notifications, sales pitches, and messages from services you barely use, it's hard to find the messages you actually want to read. Why not create separate email accounts for certain types of messages? You can even set up aliases in Gmail and Outlook.com if you don't want entire new passwords to remember. This wikiHow article will teach you how to create multiple accounts on Gmail, Outlook.com, and Yahoo mail, set up email aliases, and even how to create bulk email accounts for multiple users.

1
Understand Gmail aliases. Adding a "+" symbol followed by some extra characters to the end of your username instantly adds an alias to your existing Gmail address. This is handy if you want to have multiple Gmail addresses pointing to the same Gmail account but don't need to actually sign in and send emails from those addresses.
- Use this method if you want to sign up for different products, services, and mailing lists with an alternate email address so you don't get inundated with offers and spam. You can then filter messages sent to your alias so they are labeled/added to a specific folder rather than appearing in your inbox.
- Your aliases will all be variations of your existing email address. So, if your email address is john.smith@gmail.com, your aliases can be things like john.smith+spam@gmail.com, john.smith+offers@gmail.com, and john.smith+medical@gmail.com.
- You can create an unlimited amount of email addresses this way.

Open any text editor or word processing app. If you want to create lots of aliases, it'll be easiest to do in an app like Notepad, Text Edit, or Microsoft Word.

3

Type your regular Gmail address into the document. We'll use john.smith@gmail.com as an example.
4

Type a plus "+" sign after the username in your Gmail.com address. In our example, we'd type the + sign after john.smith and before the @ symbol, like this: john.smith+@gmail.com.
5
Type a keyword after the plus "+" sign. This can be any word you want. Websites and mailing lists will recognize each alias as a separate email address, but all the email sent to the alias will arrive in your inbox.
- For example, if your Gmail address is "john.smith@gmail.com" you could add +spam after the username to create an alias like so: john.smith+spam@gmail.com. Any time someone sends mail to this address, it will go to john.smith@gmail.com.
6
Create additional aliases. In your document, type your email address again on the next line, and this time add a different +keyword between your username and @gmail.com.
- Create as many aliases like this as you'd like for different purposes, like john.smith+offers@mail.com, john.smith+shopping@gmail.com. It'll be helpful to save the document containing all of your email addresses so you can refer to them later.
7

Give out your alias email addresses when signing up for products and services. You can add any words or text after the plus sign to create unlimited aliases. You can create different aliases for different ways to keep your mail organized and less full of junk mail. For example:

Filter the aliases in your inbox . You can set up filters in Gmail that will automatically sort the mail from your aliases into their own folders. Here's how you can filter messages sent to a particular alias into a specific folder and keep it from clogging your inbox:
- Open Gmail and click the gear icon.
- Click See all settings.
- Click the Filters and Blocked Addresses tab.
- Click Create a new filter below any existing filters.
- Type your alias into the "To" field (e.g., john.smith+spam@gmail.com).
- Click Create filter.
- Check the box next to "Apply the label" and choose (or create) a label.
- If you don't want the message in your regular inbox at all, check the box next to "Skip the Inbox (Archive it).
- Click Create filter and repeat for other aliases.

Get unlimited email aliases at https://www.33mail.com. 33mail is a service that allows you to create as many email aliases as you want, all ending with "@33mail.com." You'll get your own custom subdomain (e.g., yourdomain.33mail.com) and can receive email sent to any address on your subdomain. This is great if you're okay with email addresses pointing to one or more accounts, and not individual email addresses that people need to access separately.
- Email aliases are created automatically when someone sends a message to any address on your subdomain.^[2] For example, if your subdomain is yourdomain.33mail.com, emails sent to blahblah@yourdomain.33mail.com, john.smith@yourdomain.33mail.com, and asdfjklasdf@33mail.com will all go to your account.
- If you'd rather use your own domain instead of 33mail.com, you can upgrade to a premium plan.

Try Google Workspace for your business or organization. If you want to create bulk email accounts for your personal or organizational domain, you can do so with an appropriate Google Workspace plan. The plan you sign up for depends on the number of email addresses you want to create. Each user will also get access to other Google services. These services are not free.
- Sign up for Business Starter, Business Standard, or Business Plus to create up to 300 email accounts on any of your domains.^[3]
- If you want more addresses than that, sign up for an Enterprise account, which gives you unlimited email addresses.
3
Use a web and email hosting company. Most of the major webhosting companies allow you to set up multiple email accounts, sometimes a few, and sometimes an unlimited amount. You'll generally have the option to create accounts manually or import a spreadsheet containing the account names you want to create.^[4] Some of the most popular hosts that allow you to create unlimited email accounts affordably are BlueHost, Dreamhost, GoDaddy, HostGator, SiteGround, and Zoho.
- Before signing up, make sure you understand any limits that come along with each account.
- Some hosts charge per email account, while others offer an unlimited amount of accounts that uses can access from IMAP or POP3-supporting clients.

Check out bulk Gmail account creator apps. There are a variety of (paid) apps and services that can create bulk email accounts for different sites. These services bend (or break) site rules to create bulk accounts, so keep in mind that your accounts may be deactivated after creation. Apps like PVATool and PVACreator II create bulk phone-verified accounts on Gmail, and more like them may be available.
