Create an email address alias
This guide explains how to create an alias, that is, a variant of your usual email address without having to add a new address to your existing Mail Service.
COMPATIBILITY my kSuite β | my kSuite+ β β = Compatible offer | β = Not available |
Preamble
- The number of aliases per email address is limited to 50.
- To modify what comes after the at sign @, use alias domains.
- An alternative feature is presented here.
Alias operation
It is possible to create alternative versions of your email addresses, by modifying what comes before the at sign @.
For example:
john-peter.smith
@domain.xyz is a long email address...
It can be shortened and used as follows:
jps
@domain.xyz
In this example, you must therefore create an alias "jps
" on the address "john-peter.smith
".
Then if someone writes to jps@domain.xyz
, their message will arrive in the main address inbox (john-peter.smith@domain.xyz
).
If someone writes to john-peter.smith@domain.xyz
AND jps@domain.xyz
in copy (CC), their message will arrive twice in the main address inbox (john-peter.smith@domain.xyz
).

- Enter the desired alias (what comes before the at sign @).
- Click on Add:
