Yahoo! Mail Plus now supports subaddressing

As discussed in many places around the Net, including

Yahoo! Mail Plus now supports subaddressing, which is also known as plus addressing, user-extension addressing, detailed addressing, and tagged addresses.
The benefits of subaddressing include being able to

  1. have mail automatically delivered to a specific mailbox, which is determined by the subaddress

  2. block or dispose of a subaddress that starts receiving spam


Subaddressing
is one of the features that I recommend people look for in a mail hosting provider. It is especially useful when mail is delivered to an IMAP server because a user can then use any IMAP client to access the various subaddressed mailboxes.


Even though I do not recommend Yahoo! Mail, mainly because it does not support IMAP, I applaud them for offering subaddressing and I hope that it inspires other mail service providers to do the same.
