How to Create and Manage Alias Mailbox

Network Solutions makes it easy to create and manage email aliases with simple, step-by-step tools. An alias mailbox is an additional email address that directs all incoming messages to your main mailbox. Instead of creating a separate email account, an alias lets you use different email addresses while keeping everything in one inbox. It’s useful for privacy, organization, and managing multiple contact points without extra accounts.

Important: You cannot create an alias that duplicates another email address for the same domain.
