Hi - You can now credit a member with the "solution".

As noted by everyone here, 1 email/account.

You can also open a mailbox with Outlook or Shaw if you have a mailbox with Google.

If your main email is peter@gmail.com then emails sent to

pe.ter@gmail.com

pete.r@gmail.com

peter+33@gmail.com

p.e.t.e.r@gmail.com

will end up in the same mailbox - peter@gmail.com but for PM all 5 emails will be considered as unique. So you can have 5 PM accounts (OK, 6 including peter@gmail.com) and all communication will end up in peter@gmail.com

That's great .... didn't realize one could just place dots instead of creating  separate unique aliases.

An idea might be to use the last 4 digits of the phone number of the account. email+1234@gmail.com. Then another email+4321@gmail.com. Then they come to your one "email" inbox and you see the additional numbers and recognize that that email was being sent to that account.

HI @damenace   you can try to use those alias suggested above.  The email addresses look different but messages sending to all those would go to the same mailbox

However, if you decide to use alias to create new My Account as a workaround, please write it down and make sure you remember what pattern you used.  Many people forgot and would be trouble to reset the password

Then use peter+1@gmail.com

I confirm alias work for gmail.com.

Add DOT '.' anywhere and it go same address!

PLUS '+' works too but dot more common.

Where did my post go????

PM requires one unique email address for each PM account.

But if you have gmail email you can use alias feature. For example if your primary email address is abcdef@gmail.com email sent to abc.def@gmail.com will end up in the same mailbox.

I believe abcdef and abc.def will be considered different email for PM.

No, unfortunately you cannot use the same email for 2 PM accounts.

What you can do is to use alias email address if your email provider has that feature.

For example if you have gmail account and your primary email address is abcdefg@gmail.com you can use email abc.defg@gmail.com and email will be different but mail will go to the same mailbox.

No you can't officially. But if you use google you can use an alias using the + or  . Trick. 

Name@gmail.com = name+123@gmail.com = na.me@gmail.com

Edit. This still is two seperate selfserve accounts but emails will all go to one inbox. Outlook offers a similar alias functionality but not sure details
