How to set up email aliases
In this article, we'll guide you through the steps of setting up email aliases.
Email aliases allow you to create multiple email addresses that all forward to the same mailbox.
Step 1
In your Hub, select 'Domain, Email and Hosting' in your product list.
Step 2
Click on the 'Email accounts' tab.
Step 3
Click on ' Settings' next to the email account you wish to set up aliases for.
Step 4
Then select 'Aliases'.
Step 5
Choose an alias to link to your main mailbox. For example, choose Sales to forward incoming emails from sales@yourdomain.co.uk to mainmailbox@yourdomain.co.uk.
Step 6
Save your changes by clicking on the 'Update' button.
Step 7
You can repeat the process to add more than one alias.
Step 8
To delete an alias, click on the red next to the alias in the 'Aliases' editor.
- Aliases do not have their own dedicated mailbox. This means that you can receive emails through aliases but cannot send emails from them. If you reply to an email you received via an alias, the reply will use your main email address.
- Aliases are useful if you'd like to organise incoming mail in your main mailbox. For instance, you can set up aliases for different departments, such as Sales, Accounting and Contact.
