Managing Alias Addresses

An email alias is an email address that redirects all mail to a specified mail account. An alias is not an email account. Each account can have unlimited numbers of aliases.

When you select Aliases from the Manage Addresses Navigation pane, all aliases that are configured are displayed in the Content pane.  To see which account an alias is configured for, hover the mouse over the alias address. The tool tip shows the account associated with the alias.

Aliases can be created when you create a new account and can be added or changed in existing accounts. From the aliases toolbar you can also create new aliases for an account and move aliases from one account to another.
