Before You Begin

An email alias is an email address associated with one or more members. An email alias is not an email account; it does not have its own user name or password. Instead, email sent to an email alias address is delivered to the members of the alias.

Members, Owners, and Trustees

All email aliases have at least one owner and at least one member. Some email aliases also have trustees. If you are an owner of an email alias, you can add and remove members. If you are a trustee, you can add or remove owners.
