Manage email aliases

An alias is an email address that is different to your main email, but still sends mail to your main inbox. Find out how to add an alias to, or delete an alias from, your Xtra Mail account.

What you need to know about aliases

• An alias is a different email address to your main email address, but it still sends emails to the same mailbox.
• You can use your alias and your main email's password to access your mailbox.
• If you get an email sent to your alias, any email addresses connected to your account will be able to see it.
• You can have up to five aliases attached to your Xtra Mail account.
