Gmail address trick

So I'm in need of a few mules and I remembered that there was this trick to using one gmail account for multiple gaia accounts but apparently it doesn't work now.

Anyone know how to bypass this or another similar trick I could use?

There are two Gmail tricks. One uses a +, the other uses a period.

youraccount@gmail.com

youraccount+anythinghere@gmail.com

yo.ur.ac.cou.n.t@gmail.com with periods anywhere in it.

I just stick with using throwaway e-mails, e.g. from mailinator.com

The one with period was the one that I used to do but now it's patched.

I haven't tried the + method yet though. I'll see if it does work and edit this post with the results.

what about @gmail.com
and @googlemail.com

But then you could only make two account using that method. If you use both of the methods above, then you don't need this one.

Back on topic, I found out that you cannot use the '.' method but you may use the '+' method.
The only problem is that you may not activate your gaia account if the e-mail has a '+' character in it.
To bypass this, you need to change your e-mil so that it uses the '.' method and resend your confirmation e-mail.

yeh

How should I explain this...

Let's say we have a g-mail account and its address is "LogicalGamers@gmail.com".

Then we register 3 accounts using

1. LogicalGamers@gmail.com
   
2. LogicalGamers@googlemail.com
   
3. LogicalGamers+a@gmail.com
   

Now, we have no problems for the first 2 accounts but for the 3rd one we have an error. It said something like "The account for that email has already been confirmed." and if you were to resend the confirmation email, another error would pop up saying that the email address is in wrong format.

To bypass that error, we have to change the email address after registering from "LogicalGamers+a@gmail.com" to "L.ogicalGamers@gmail.com" and resend the confirmation after changing the email address.

Depending on how their confirmation system works, this may be bypassable. Like if email+stuff@whatever is in the URL, it may be misreading the +, since many servers interpret + as a space instead of its own character.

So the + method no longer works?

It does let you register with the + method, but you cant activate that account until you change the email address associated with that account.

Well, didn't know about any of this

I never had malinator work so I stopped trying to use it a few years ago. Does it work now?
