Email aliases

You can set an alias on your mailbox to present your mailbox as multiple email addresses.

For example, you can have mailbox info@yourdomain.com and create an alias orders@yourdomain.com. You will still have only one physical mailbox. You will also be able to log in to the mailbox with the alias as username.
