What Is The Process Of Configuring An Email Alias?

So, you want to know what email alias is, right? Well, this is the right time to know about this concept, which is not at all new, but you can say that many people were not aware of this. The importance of email alias can be determined from the fact that you may require an alternative email address referred to as email alias at some point of time. Therefore, you must know the exact details as to what email alias is and how you can benefit from it.

Let me simplify things for you. You have an email address that you use on a regular basis to send and receive emails from your known ones. You have created that email at that time when you were new to the internet. We all have created emails that are somewhat hard to remember (if not by us, then definitely by others). But, the thing is that if you decide to create a new mail, then it wouldn’t be possible to transfer all the details from that previous email to this new one. You can try if you want, but you will keep reminding things on regular intervals that you forgot to add in the new mail. So, that idea is completely flop. A better alternative would be to have a mail, which is easy to remember. The main thing is to connect both, you old mail and new mail together in such a way that messages from old mail get forwarded to this new mail. This will help you in getting all your emails to this new mail ID, plus you can also send mails from this new mail ID with your contacts being able to recognise that it’s you.

I think you have understood the point of how email alias works. Your new email is your email alias and in order to make it work with your older email, you will have to configure it. If you want to know the steps to configure both your email accounts, then here they are:

1. Launch your internet browser and open your email.
2. You have to find an option by the name of ‘customise your mail’. Select this option followed by selecting ‘sort new mails’ option.
3. Once you select these options, you will have to delete ‘allow new emails to go to corresponding folders’.

How You Can Enable Email Alias So That You Can Easily Reply Your Known Contacts?

I am assuming that you have heard about Thunderbird identity functionality. You have to use this to enable email alias to become your reply-to address. Below-mentioned are the steps that you can follow to do so.

1. Go to Thunderbird account settings and select your main ID.
2. Then, click ‘manage identities’ option followed by ‘add’.
3. Add those names that you wish to associate with email alias.
4. After that, you will see the option named ‘email address’ in which you will add email alias and ‘reply-to address’.
5. You have the option to configure a number of other options such as messages, reply quote and encryption.
6. Click on ‘OK’ button twice to finish the process.

Storing Emails In Different Folders In Email Alias

You can make a custom folder to store all your emails instead of keeping them in the usual inbox. Every email provider has its own different set of options, so you will have to find out the settings that will lead you to creating a new folder, where you can store all your emails. If you are unable to create new folders, then you must take the help of email help and support providers.
