( CNN ) -- A new feature from Google will let you e-mail just about anyone with a Google+ account , and , in turn , give them the ability to e-mail you . The feature , announced on the official Gmail blog , wo n't give your actual e-mail address to strangers . But when a Gmail user begins typing in the address box , it will provide suggestions including people in their Google+ network . The idea , Google says , is to make it easier to contact friends and other contacts when you 've forgotten , or never had , their e-mail address . But some early reactions suggested the new change may make it too easy . `` Oh god no.. Another reason to hate Google+ , '' wrote Jeff Roberts , a reporter for tech blog GigaOM , on Twitter . `` They turned it into a stalking tool . '' Others , like Chris Taylor of Mashable , said it looks like another attempt to push users to Google+ , which , as a social network , has never presented a real challenge to Facebook , though Google has continued to integrate it into other , more popular , products like YouTube and , now , Gmail . `` What ( CEO Larry ) Page and Google seem maddeningly unaware of is that nobody can ever be forced into having a party , '' Taylor wrote . `` That in fact , the forcing is what makes a party impossible . '' Google , clearly anticipating the privacy concerns , notes that users may limit the feature , or opt out of it entirely . While the default G+ setting will allow anyone on Google+ to contact you , users may limit that access to people in their Circles on the network , or to nobody at all . There are other limits , too . A user may only e-mail you using the system once if you do n't reply ( addressing the stalking concerns , perhaps ) . And messages from people who are not in your G+ Circles will go into the `` Social '' folder , along with other posts from sites like G+ , Facebook and Twitter , instead of the user 's primary inbox . Google said the feature will be rolling out to Gmail and Google+ users over the next couple of days , when they will receive a message with a link to the feature .
New feature means all Google+ users can e - mail each other . People ' n't need to know your e - mail address to send you e - mails . Google says it makes it easier to reach you . Some say it strips privacy .
