An alias lets one mailbox receive email at a second address. For example, email sent to contact@yourdomain.com lands directly in the info@yourdomain.com mailbox.
- Alias: two addresses, one mailbox. No extra account is created.
- Forwarding: email is sent on to another address, even on another domain. See Email Forwarding.
Step by step
- Log in to your Plesk panel at
https://yourdomain.com:8443. - Click Mail in the left menu and click your main email address (e.g. info@).
- Open the Email Aliases tab.
- Click Add email alias and type the new name (e.g.
contact). - Click OK. The alias works immediately.
To send email from the alias, add it as a second "From" address to your main account in your email program.
