Adding alias and creating mail groups
This article describes how to add mailbox aliases and create mail groups in the Mail module once you have set up your first domain on the portal.
Adding an alias
Users may need to use a different email address without creating a new mailbox. The Mail module allows you to add aliases to an existing mailbox address. To add a new alias:
- Sign in to the portal using your credentials.
- Go to the Mail using the corresponding icon in the upper right corner of the page or the drop-down list in the upper left corner.
- Open the Settings section.
- Go to the Mail Server subsection.
- Click the
icon next to the mailbox you want to create an alias for. - Choose the Edit mailbox option.
- Enter the Mailbox alias into the corresponding field of the Edit mailbox window and click the
icon. Repeat this step for each additional alias required.
If you want to delete an alias added by mistake, find it in the list below the Mailbox alias field and click the
icon.
- Click the Save button.
The email aliases will appear in the left panel with the email accounts connected to Mail.
Creating a mail group
Mail groups allow multiple users to receive email sent to a single group address. To create a mail group:
- Sign in to the portal using your credentials.
- Navigate to Mail using the corresponding icon in the upper right corner of the page or the drop-down list in the upper left corner.
- Go to the Settings section.
- Go to the Mail Server subsection.
- Click the Add new mail group link under the needed domain.
- Enter the Mail group address into the corresponding field of the Create new mail group window.
- Click the Add new mailbox link, check the boxes next to the email addresses you want to add to the group, and click the Save button.
If you want to delete an email address added by mistake, find it in the Mail group mailboxes list and click the icon.
- Click the Save button.
All emails sent to the specified mail group address will henceforth be delivered to the personal mailboxes of the group members.

Can I add a new mailbox to the mail group later?
