Managing your email aliases

An email alias is a method of mapping a nickname to an actual email address or addresses. Aliases are commonly used for mail distribution lists or to forward an email message to more that one email address at one time.

You can create an alias for your user account email address. For example, if your email address is Joe.Smith@domain.com , and you would like your email address to be Joe@domain.com , create an alias named Joe , and all email messages addressed to Joe @domain.com will be forwarded to Joe.Smith@domain.com .

Note: You must choose an alias that is not already being used.
