Hi, hope I can get some help, I have a Gmail account and want to make more Gmail address's
so I can have a seperate email addresss for each new project but cant find a thing on how to do this.
I have searched thru all help topics etc and cant find anything related.
Or is it I need to set up a new account for each new email address ?

Appreciate comments please. Regards Bruce

    That's easy because gmail is unique in that you can make hundreds of new email "addresses" just by entering a "." between characters on your main account. No need to add new addresses. For example, if my email is somethinglikethis[at]gmail[dot]com, use somethinglikethis, something.like.this, some.thing.like.this, somethinglike.this, s.o.m.e.t.h.i.n.g.l.i.k.e.t.h.i.s, and so on. I have nearly 300 gmail addresses just from one account for tracking. The "." is ignored, but shows up in your main email accouint as indicated for tracking purposes. You might want to set up folders as well to filter responses. Try it, it really works! Hope that helps.

      Yes, but you must have a different phone number per every two GMail accounts you create, as Google confirms all new Gmail accounts via phone. So unless you've got 20 phone numbers, your Gmail-making efforts will be pretty limited unless they've changed their policy in the past few months.

        I have only 1 gmail account, but 287 email "addresses" so far using that method above. More are being added as needed for each project I start. In my example using "somethinglikethis", you could set up literally thousands of iterations of that email address, and they will all be considered as unique. It is alot easier for tracking purposes IMO than setting up separate accounts.

          Ohhh.... sorry. Totally misunderstood. I remember that trick now - doesn't have a thing to do with actually creating new Gmail accounts, does it.

          Guess I jumped the gun on my reply before letting the content sink in. Sorry about that!

    I've lost track of how many I actually have... sign out of your account and where it says create an account click and create... I think they may have wanted a phone verification once or twice but really, I have created quite a few for different reasons.

    Hope that helps

      If you want new gmail accounts just send yourself invites from your main gmail account.

      So if you have a number of domains send an invite to emails setup on your domains or use yahoo, hotmails etc to receive the invites.

      This by passes any phone verification.

    I was under the impression you could create up to 10 Gmails per cell phone and also you can have your friends invite you to Gmail, they can invite up to 50 people (that number may have changed but last i checked it was 50-100)

      If it's now up to 10, then that must have changed since I last tried to create a new one. I sure hope it's 10 because you can't do much with two. Okay, "I" can't do much with two - not sure about everyone else...
