📧 Mailbox aliases

2025-05-29

Added support for full-fledged mailbox aliases for corporate mail.

Aliases are additional addresses for existing mailboxes. They allow you to work with multiple mail addresses from one mailbox. All mail that is sent to alias addresses goes to the mailbox with the primary address.

Also, aliases:

  • Make it easier to search for messages in your mailbox — you can search by primary address or aliases.
  • Help in organizing incoming mail — with address-based filters, you can set up automatic labeling or distribution of messages into folders.
  • Improve privacy — the primary address can be used for trusted contacts, and aliases for less trusted ones — subscriptions, site registrations, etc.
  • You can use it as a disposable email — add an alias with a random name, receive an email with a code or link to it, and delete it.
  • Help in fighting spam — in case of a large amount of junk mail to an alias address, you can delete it and create a new one with a different name.

WebMail.Online and WebMail classic mail clients have built-in alias support — when aliases are added, profiles are automatically created that can be selected when sending messages. In third-party mail clients, profiles must be created manually to send from additional addresses.

Detailed information about aliases is available in our wiki.
