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.

Preamble

• To modify what comes after the at sign @, use domain aliases.
• 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 inbox of the main address (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 inbox of the main address (john-peter.smith@domain.xyz).
