Please explain what is Email Forwarding and Email Aliases?
To answer this question, this is better to take an example. Assume that:
With our free Email Forwarding, all email addresses (unlimited) under your domain, for example:
support@MyDomain.com
sales@MyDomain.com
account@MyDomain.com
............................
............................
.... etc..................
can be sent (forwarded) to your email address (alex9876@ABC.com).
This way, if you change your existing ISP email to other ISP email (example: alex2323@AOL.com), you do not need to inform your clients or friends! Because, you just forward all emails under your domain to your new ISP email address (alex2323@AOL.com).
- your ISP is ABC. You have email adress from your ISP - alex9876@ABC.com
- Now you register a domain, MyDomain.com
With our free Email Forwarding, all email addresses (unlimited) under your domain, for example:
support@MyDomain.com
sales@MyDomain.com
account@MyDomain.com
............................
............................
.... etc..................
can be sent (forwarded) to your email address (alex9876@ABC.com).
This way, if you change your existing ISP email to other ISP email (example: alex2323@AOL.com), you do not need to inform your clients or friends! Because, you just forward all emails under your domain to your new ISP email address (alex2323@AOL.com).
What is the difference between 'Email Aliases' and POP3 email account?
Actually, POP3 is an email box that can save your emails. While Email Aliases are only a pointer that forward emails to POP3 mail box. Therefore Email Aliases are sometimes called Email Forwarding.
You can use a single POP3 email account to receive emails from different email aliases. For example: in order to increase the image of your company, you can use 6 email aliases to serve your clients. Actually, you are using only 2 staff (peter and john) and 2 POP3 email accounts to handle all services for your clients.
The following table explain the whole situation:
| Email Aliases | POP3 Email Account(Receive Emails Account |
| enquiry@MyName.com | peter@MyName.com |
| sales@MyName.com | peter@MyName.com |
| marketing@MyName.com | peter@MyName.com |
| service@MyName.com | john@MyName.com |
| support@MyName.com | john@MyName.com |
| repair@MyName.com | john@MyName.com |
Then all emails send to enquiry@MyName.com, sales@MyName.com and marketing@MyName.com will be received by peter@MyName.com (POP3 email account)
And all emails send to service@MyName.com, support@MyName.com and repair@MyName.com will be received by john@MyName.com (POP3 email account).
