Every **valid email** consists of a **local name** and a **domain name**, separated by the `'@'` sign. Besides lowercase letters, the email may contain one or more `'.'` or `'+'`.

*   For example, in `"alice@leetcode.com "`, `"alice "` is the **local name**, and `"leetcode.com "` is the **domain name**.

If you add periods `'.'` between some characters in the **local name** part of an email address, mail sent there will be forwarded to the same address without dots in the local name. Note that this rule **does not apply** to **domain names**.

*   For example, `"alice.z@leetcode.com "` and `"alicez@leetcode.com "` forward to the same email address.

If you add a plus `'+'` in the **local name**, everything after the first plus sign **will be ignored**. This allows certain emails to be filtered. Note that this rule **does not apply** to **domain names**.

*   For example, `"m.y+name@email.com "` will be forwarded to `"my@email.com "`.

It is possible to use both of these rules at the same time.

Given an array of strings `emails` where we send one email to each `emails[i]`, return _the number of different addresses that actually receive mails_.

**Example 1:**

**Input:** emails = \[ "test.email+alex@leetcode.com ", "test.e.mail+bob.cathy@leetcode.com ", "testemail+david@lee.tcode.com "\]
**Output:** 2
**Explanation:**  "testemail@leetcode.com " and  "testemail@lee.tcode.com " actually receive mails.

**Example 2:**

**Input:** emails = \[ "a@leetcode.com ", "b@leetcode.com ", "c@leetcode.com "\]
**Output:** 3

**Constraints:**

*   `1 <= emails.length <= 100`
*   `1 <= emails[i].length <= 100`
*   `emails[i]` consist of lowercase English letters, `'+'`, `'.'` and `'@'`.
*   Each `emails[i]` contains exactly one `'@'` character.
*   All local and domain names are non-empty.
*   Local names do not start with a `'+'` character.
*   Domain names end with the `".com "` suffix.
