Email Service: create an alias for an existing email address
This guide explains how to create variants of your usual email address.
How it works:
it is entirely possible to create alternative versions of your email addresses by modifying what comes before the @. For example, john-peter.smith@example.com is a long address and can be shortened to be used as follows: jps@example.com (in this case, you need to create a "jps" alias for the address "john-peter.smith").
To modify what comes after the @, you need to use alias domains (find out more).
