Gmail Alias Generator

A simple Python script that generates Gmail aliases by adding a '+suffix' after your Gmail username.

What are Gmail Aliases?

Gmail allows you to create aliases of your email address by adding a plus sign (+) followed by any text before the @ symbol. For example, if your email is username@gmail.com, you can use username+anything@gmail.com as an alias.

All emails sent to these aliases will still arrive in your main Gmail inbox, but you can create filters based on the "To:" address to automatically sort, label, or manage these emails differently.

Features

• Generate any number of unique Gmail aliases
• Each alias has a random suffix (a letter followed by a number)
• View all generated aliases in the terminal
• Option to save aliases to a text file for future reference

Requirements

• Python 3.6 or higher

How to Use

1. Run the script:

   python gmail_alias_generator.py
   

2. Enter your main Gmail address when prompted

   Enter your main Gmail address: youremail@gmail.com
   

3. Enter the number of aliases you want to generate

   How many aliases would you like to generate? 10
   

4. The script will display all generated aliases

   Generated Gmail Aliases:
   =======================
   1. youremail+a1@gmail.com
   2. youremail+b5@gmail.com
   ...
   

5. Choose whether to save the aliases to a text file

   Do you want to save these aliases to a text file? (y/n): y
   

6. If you choose yes, the aliases will be saved to gmail_aliases.txt in the current directory

Benefits of Using Gmail Aliases

• Track who shares your email: Use a different alias for each website or service
• Filter your inbox: Create Gmail filters based on the alias to automatically organize emails
• Reduce spam: If an alias starts receiving spam, you know which service leaked your email
• Test email functionality: Useful for developers testing email features
• Create multiple accounts: Some services allow you to register multiple accounts with different email addresses

How It Works

The script generates random suffixes consisting of a lowercase letter followed by a number between 1 and 99. This provides up to 2,574 unique combinations (26 letters × 99 numbers).

Note

Gmail ignores everything after the plus sign (+) when delivering emails, so all emails sent to your aliases will still arrive in your main inbox. The alias part is only useful for filtering and organization.
