What is an Alias email address?
An email alias is an alternate address that points to a user's existing email mailbox. This allows you to have multiple email addresses which all get forwarded in to your primary mailbox. For example;
Your primary email address may be name@yourbusiness.com.au.
An alias would allow you so set up an info@yourbusiness.com.au, accounts@yourbusiness.com.au, etc. and allow all emails sent to these addresses to end up in your primary (name@youbusiness.com.au) inbox.
