What are e-mail aliases?
Sometimes when you have an e-mail address like derek.smith@sys-national.com, people will send messages intended for you to the wrong address: like derek@sys-national.com. In some cases, IT administrators set up "e-mail aliases" for your main e-mail account -- so that any message sent to derek@sys-national.com will get rerouted to derek.smith@sys-national.com.Do I have an e-mail alias?
Maybe! The easiest way to find out if you have an email alias is to ask your IT administrator if he or she has defined any for your e-mail account. If you are a home user, you can contact your ISP. If you're using a free e-mail service like Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo! Mail, you almost certainly do not have e-mail aliases.Does email2 support aliases?
Of course! You must define your e-mail aliases in the 'Tools' section of the email2 Web Client, and then show that you legitimately own them by clicking a confirmation link in the email that we will send. It is recommended that you contact your PEN Administrator or email2 Reseller before adding new aliases to your account. Most users will not need to set up e-mail aliases for their email2 accounts. You should only worry about configuring e-mail aliases if you've encountered problems retrieving secure email2 messages that were sent to e-mail aliases you own. If you're concerned about whether or not you need to define e-mail aliases, please contact your PEN Administrator or email2 Reseller.//Edited June 2009
