Note regarding unique email addresses

Each Contact record must have a unique email address. In the event there is a shared (eg. family) email address, you can use 'plus' addressing to enable a valid email address to be used on the additional contacts.

A ‘plus’ email address looks like this joe+martha@example.com – the real address is joe@example.com but any address with a + sign and following text will go to the same mailbox.
