What is the difference between a POP3 email address and an email alias?
POP3 emails are email address that store emails on the mail server (e.g. email address at AOL/Earthlink/Hotmail). Email aliases at DomainProcessor serve to forward emails, they do not have a space on the mail server to store emails. One can not differentiate whether an email is an alias or POP3 email by looking at it. Only the setup is different. How many email aliases can I setup? You can setup up to 30 email aliases. How do I add a new email alias? To set up a new email alias, simply log into your Account Manager and create a new email alias and enter the destination email. Once I setup an email alias, does it work right away? It will begin to work within thirty minutes! If you’ve just registered a new domain name, you will have to wait a few hours before email forwarding begins to function. What is “capture-all” email alias? Capture-all email alias serves to capture all the emails sent to your domain name’s email addresses which do not exist or were not set up as email aliases. This
