What is an email alias?
An email address (also referred to as Real Name, Real Email Address or POP3 Account) is basically an account located on an email server, where incoming emails are stored for the user of that account to get them. In order to see emails received on your email address, you must login with your logon name on the mail server of that account. In order to use emails, everyone needs an email address. It is like your postal mail address: if you wish to receive mail, you must supply a mail address. An Email alias is not a Real Email Account. Instead it’s an address that forwards all email it receives to another email account. For example, if you establish an email alias called johndoe@addr1.com to go to johndoe@yourdomain.com, then all email sent to johndoe@addr1.com will be automatically forwarded to johndoe@yourodmain.com (Thus, the addr1.com address is called an alias of ‘johndoe@yourdomain.com’.) When someone sends you an email to the alias name (johndoe@addr1.com), the mail server of addr1.
