Create an alternative email address (alias)

Atualização 03/07/2026

You can create and manage aliases (alternative email addresses) directly from the Mail Service in the Infomaniak administration interface (Manager):

What are alternative email addresses?

An alternative email address, commonly called an alias, is an additional address linked to a primary email address. It does not have its own password or storage space, as it automatically forwards all received messages to the main inbox. For example:

  • Primary email address: florent@domain.xyz
  • Alternative addresses: florent.dupont@domain.xyz and/or fd@domain.xyz and/or contact@domain.xyz etc.

 

For detailed instructions on creating an alias, please refer to this other guide.

 

Specific features & benefits

Using an alias allows you to multiply contact points while simplifying daily email management:

  • Maintain a single inbox: emails received from multiple aliases are delivered directly to the primary address, avoiding the creation of multiple mailboxes.
  • Centralized management: the user does not need to remember multiple passwords; settings such as the signature, auto-reply, or filtering rules are centralized on the primary address.
  • Confidentiality and security: the alias allows you to communicate without revealing the primary email address or real identity when sending messages.
  • Multi-domain usage: It is possible to connect multiple domain names to the Mail Service to receive messages on different extensions (e.g., .com, .ch, .fr) through a single interface; refer to this other guide.
  • Cost optimization: Alternative addresses are not deducted from the address quota included in the Mail Service offer, which allows you to create many identities/spellings without extra cost.

 

For specific needs, it is also possible (and this applies to all Infomaniak email offers) to generate temporary/on-the-fly aliases to filter incoming emails or register on third-party services without cluttering the main inbox. Refer to this other guide.
