Why are alias addresses useful?
So what is the use of an email alias in the first place? There are a number of different reasons. Firstly, you might want to retain privacy and remain anonymous in certain email exchanges. For companies, email addresses help to provide clear communication by supporting a professional identity and demonstrating a business to be well-organised. A clear, well-structured and to-the-point email address instils confidence in potential clients and customers.
An alias email address also provides a cleaner and more efficient solution to creating another email account with a separate inbox. With GMX, it is possible to use and create up to 10 different sender email addresses signed to one mailbox. This elegant solution removes the hassle of creating a new account each time you wish to have another email address, saving time and ensuring that you don't have to remember excessive amounts of passwords. It is easy to access, too; simply sign in with any of your email aliases and you will have access to your entire account.
Once an account has been set up, it is not possible to change the name of the email address. Should you wish to make a change, you are advised to create a new alias email to use instead of, or in conjunction with the original. In this scenario, it is prudent to wait until you are certain that all of your contacts have started to use your new email alias exclusively before deleting an email address.
