An alias is an additional email address that you can use with your existing email account instead of your personal email address. Much like an offline alias, an email alias is another title that you can use and be recognized by.

With a free iCloud account, you can receive mail at +aliases, but you can send from them only if you add them in Settings. You can also add up to three new addresses (@icloud.com) as aliases to send and receive mail.

One of the most useful ways to use aliases is to sort your mail. By using filters or rules, you can automatically sort your incoming emails into folders, or apply a label or star/flag, so you can easily find them later.

SimpleLogin aliases can provide more privacy than +aliases, and we recommend using SimpleLogin instead of +aliases. Integrate your account with Proton, so you can log into SimpleLogin with your existing Proton account and start protecting your inbox with email aliases.

We also suggest getting the SimpleLogin browser extensions or mobile apps for easier use.

Create a unique email alias from your SimpleLogin dashboard (for example, newslett...@simplelogin.com) and use this alias anytime you need to share your email address to a third party. All emails sent to your alias will be instantly forwarded to the email address of your choice.

But sometimes, you might want another email address for more widespread and permanent usage. In this case, if you have a paid Proton Mail Plus or Proton Unlimited account, you can create additional Proton Mail addresses attached to your account.

For example, you might have john....@proton.me for your personal email, while having acm...@proton.me for your small business. So whether you use an address or an alias depends on your use case.

This is more options than the typical email service, and something we provide because of our strong focus on privacy and security. For a better email experience and to benefit from end-to-end email encryption, sign up for a free Proton Mail account.

With PGP, emails are encrypted with your own PGP key before being forwarded to your mailbox. Only you can then decrypt these emails. Works perfectly with Proton Mail or any PGP tools (Thunderbird, GPGTools, etc).

To better secure your SimpleLogin account, you can enable 2FA with TOTP and/or WebAuthn (FIDO).

Email alias is similar to forward email address: all emails sent to an alias will be forwarded to your inbox.
Thanks to SimpleLogin technology, you can also send emails from an alias.
For your contact, the alias is therefore your email address. More info about email alias on What is an email alias.

Email subaddressing, also known as the plus (+) trick, popularized by Gmail and supported by some email services, allows you to create new email addresses by appending "+" to your current email address. Says your email is na...@proton.me, you can quickly create another address like name+f...@proton.me for Facebook, name+g...@proton.me for Groupon, etc.
Though practical, it has some downsides:
- You cannot reply from the + address: your real email will appear as the sender.
- The + trick is well-known and some websites don't allow sign-ups with email addresses that contain +.
- Using + trick doesn't protect your privacy: one can easily remove the + part to have your real email. If your + address appears in the data breach, your real address is probably also in the hands of spammers. You could check whether your email is leaked using website like have i been pwned
- By removing the + part, advertisers can link these + addresses together to have your browsing history.

SimpleLogin aliases don't have any of these downsides. You can read more about the pros and cons of using the + trick on What makes email alias a better alternative to email plus sign (+)

SimpleLogin is the most advanced email alias solution and is in active development. Here are some differences between SimpleLogin and other email forwarding/alias services:

  • Fully open-source: both SimpleLogin server and client code (browser extension, JS library, mobile apps) are open-source so anyone can freely inspect and improve the code.
  • Covers all major platforms: Chrome/Firefox/Safari extension for desktop, iOS and Android apps for mobile.
  • The only email forwarding solution that can be self-hosted, i.e. you could run SimpleLogin on your server. With our detailed self-hosting instructions and most of components running as Docker container, anyone who knows ssh is able to deploy SimpleLogin on their server.
  • You can send/reply emails from alias. There's no limits on the number of sends/replies.
  • Unlimited bandwidth.
  • No ads, no tracker.
  • Not just email alias: SimpleLogin is also a privacy-focused and developer-friendly identity provider that:
    - respects user privacy
    - is simple to use for developers.
    SimpleLogin offers a privacy-focused alternative to the "Login with Facebook/Google/Apple" buttons.
  • Plenty of features: browser extension, custom domain, catch-all alias, OAuth libraries, etc. and much more to come.
  • Open roadmap at GitHub: you know the exciting features we are working on.

SimpleLogin alias are permanent as opposed to the temporary email addresses created on services like temp-mail.org, 10minutemail.net, etc.
SimpleLogin also doesn't store the emails, they are stored in your mailbox.
SimpleLogin is simply a different product for a different need.

You can reply directly from your email client. Just click on the "reply" button, the reply will be routed via SimpleLogin and SimpleLogin will make it coming from your alias. Your personal email will stay invisible to the original sender.

Technically, the From header in your email is replaced by a special alias dynamically generated for each sender. When you reply, your reply is actually sent to this special alias and SimpleLogin will relay the reply back to the sender, making sure the email is sent from your alias. All information about your personal email address is removed during that process.

A reverse-alias is a special alias that allows you to send email from your alias.
A reverse-alias is created for each alias you want to send email from and each contact you want to send email to.
When you send an email to a reverse-alias from your personal email, the email will be sent from your alias to the contact.

Having a subdomain allows you to quickly create aliases on the fly, without having personal domain. For example, if you own the subdomain my-sub.aleeas.com, you can make up an alias like mcdo...@my-sub.aleeas.com when you are ordering a McDonald burger without opening SimpleLogin app.

As a Google Workspace administrator, you can create an alternate email address (email alias) for a user so they can send and receive email with another address. You can add up to 30 email aliases for each user at no extra cost.

An alternate email address, also called an email alias, is a forwarding email address that an admin adds to a user's primary email address. Messages sent to the email alias automatically route to the user's primary email account's inbox.

Tip: Only one user can use an email alias. If you need an email address that's used by multiple users, we recommend using Gmail delegation instead. Learn how to delegate a user's email address.

To read messages sent to the email alias, a user signs in to their primary Google Workspace account. For example, the Solarmora.com admin assigned Emily the email alias sup...@solarmora.com. To read and respond to messages sent to the alias, Emily signs in to her email account em...@solarmora.com.

Google Workspace email aliases are useful for small businesses where someone fills multiple roles. For example, Juan owns a one-person business and created three aliases: in...@solarmora.com for customer inquiries, bil...@solarmora.com to handle invoices, and sa...@solarmora.com to manage sales. Juan receives all messages in his primary email account, ju...@solarmora.com,

To send email from an alias, the user must set up a custom From address in Gmail. This task is done by the user and is not visible to you in the Admin console. To set up the From address, tell your users to review Send emails from a different address or alias.

If you want a completely fresh start, sign out of Outlook.com, then create a new account. This will give you a new Outlook.com email address and inbox. If you close your Outlook.com email account, you won't be able to sign in to other Microsoft services you currently use. You'll have to sign out before you can create a new account.

If you just need a new name to be associated with your account, you can change your profile photo or name. If you want to connect another email account to your Outlook.com account, you can add your other email accounts to Outlook.com.

Outlook.com lets you have multiple aliases associated with a single account, and you can choose which email address you send email from. Creating alternate addresses to use on websites or apps that force you to register can help keep your personal email address out of the hands of marketers and hackers.

Are you sure? If you remove an alias that's an email address from a Microsoft domain (like @hotmail.com, @live.com, @outlook.com, or @msn.com), you're permanently deleting the alias and it can't be associated with any Microsoft account again.

An email alias is an additional email address for an email account, with which a user can send/ receive emails or set forwards to. A single-user account can have multiple email aliases, with different domains or even with the same domain. In short, an email alias is like a nickname or a nick email address.
