Introduction

Mail aliases are powerful features that can simplify and optimize the management of your email on your LWS mail service. In this documentation, we will guide you through the steps to create, manage and get the most out of mail aliases.

I. What is a mail alias?

An email alias is an additional email address associated with your main email account. Unlike your main address, an email alias does not need a separate inbox. Instead, emails sent to your mail alias are redirected to your main inbox.

Mail aliases offer a number of advantages. They allow you to hide your main e-mail address when communicating with third parties, thereby preserving your confidentiality. Mail aliases also make it easier to organise your e-mails by creating specific identities for different purposes (e.g. ventes@votreentreprise. com). This also simplifies the management of incoming and outgoing emails.

Let's take the example of a small online sales company, "Fashionista". The owner, Alice, uses her main e-mail address, alice@fashionista.com, to manage communications relating to her business. However, she also wants to receive specific emails for different categories of products she sells, such as women's clothing, shoes and accessories.

To simplify the management of these communications, Alice creates mail aliases on her LWS mail service. She creates the following aliases:

• For women's clothing: women@fashionista.com
• For shoes: shoes@fashionista.com
• For accessories: accessories@fashionista.com

Each time a customer sends an email to one of these aliases, the email is automatically redirected to Alice's main inbox, alice@fashionista.com. In this way, she can easily organise and filter her emails according to the different product categories.

The use of mail aliases allows Alice to hide her main e-mail address while maintaining centralised management of her communications. In addition, it offers greater flexibility for the future expansion of her business, as she can create new aliases according to her specific needs.
