Basically, this means that one teacher can have 20 permanent e-mail accounts that are all delivered into one teacher e-mail account. Therefore, if the teacher account is teacher@gmail.com, all you have to do is add a “+studentname” before the @ symbol to make a linked account. Therefore mail sent to teacher+studentname@gmail.com will go straight to teacher@gmail.com. Of course, given that Gmail terms and conditions require users to be over 18, we did send out a permission slip to all parents to get their formal approval that we create these linked accounts.

So an email to you+1234@gmail.com is really being sent to you@gmail.com, however, when you receive the email in your inbox it will show ‘to: you+1234@gmail.com‘ in the header. This allows you to leverage gmails filtering tools to create separate folders for each ’subaccount’. But really you’re not creating anything….I could send an email to ‘you+suck@gmail.com’ and you’d see that, too.
