# Addresses and mailboxes

With catch-all on, an address exists as soon as something is sent to it. Listing one up front is about naming it, not permitting it.

## What to do

1. Settings → Addresses lists every address that has received something.
2. Add one early to give it a label before the first message arrives.
3. Turn one off to start bouncing its mail, the only switch here that changes routing.
4. Every plan, Free included, has as many addresses as you like on its domains.
