Plus addressing, or subaddressing, delivers mail in a particular way so that you can better organize incoming mail. Plus addressing allows mail to automatically be sorted into folders by making use of the + symbol.
An example of plus addressing looks like the following:
An email is sent to example+clients@domain.com. example@domain.com will receive the email and cPanel will look for a folder titled "clients." If the folder already exists, the message will be delivered to that folder, bypassing the Inbox. If the folder doesn't exist, cPanel will create the folder and deliver the email there.

Using Plus Addressing
- Create folders in Horde or Roundcube to prepare for using Plus Addressing
EXAMPLE:
NOTE: Plus Addressing only works on top-level folders, so don't set a parent folder for any emails you want to organize using this feature. - Confirm you're subscribed to any folders in use
EXAMPLE:
NOTE: If Plus Addressing is used and the folder is not yet created, it will be created automatically. Follow the step above on subscribing to folders in Webmail to ensure you can view these folders and contained mail.
IMPORTANT: The Plus Addressing folders are case-sensitive, so a message to user+Plus@domain.com will deliver to a different folder than user+plus@domain.com. - Once an email has been sent using Plus Addressing to the new folder, an unread notification will display on the folder
