Making an e-mail alias means creating an email address which shares the very same mailbox with a totally different e-mail address for both the inbound and the outbound emails. For instance, you are able to create an address sales@domain.com and it will be connected to its very own mailbox. Then, you can create an alias support@domain.com, which can make use of the mailbox of sales@ and does not have a mailbox of its own. Once you check your email messages, you'll see emails sent to both of the two addresses in one place, which may be more convenient in some instances as you will not have to log in and out of various mailboxes using webmail or configure numerous email addresses inside an email application. This feature is normally used as an alternative choice to forwarding e-mails from a single e-mail address to another one if a number of addresses are mentioned for contact on a site.
