With aliases, you can have multiple email addresses for the same email account. For example, you can create an alias ** that points to **. Emails sent to both addresses will then be delivered to the email account **. To create a new alias, click on the plus sign in the upper right corner and then on **Create Alias**.
In the dialog box that opens, fill in the new email address at the top, i.e., the alias itself. Then, enter the recipient, the one who should receive emails sent to the alias. Note that it is possible to specify multiple recipients by separating each email address with a comma. When you are done, click **Create**.
The alias is now visible in the overview. Here, you can also see the recipient for the alias. ### Edit an existing alias It's possible to edit an alias by clicking **Actions** and then **Edit** for the alias in question.
In the dialog box that opens, you can now remove existing recipients for the alias and add new recipients. Click on the cross next to a recipient to remove that recipient. Add new recipients by entering the recipient's email address and clicking **Add**. When you are done, click **Save**.
### Remove an alias To remove an alias, click **Actions** next to it, and then click on **Delete**.
A dialog box opens where you need to confirm the deletion by typing the alias in a field and then clicking **Delete**. ## Manage aliases using the API To manage aliases using the [API](/platform/control-panel/api.md), use the [email/createalias](https://github.com/GleSYS/API-docs/wiki/API-Documentation#emailcreatealias) endpoint to create a new alias. Use the [email/editalias](https://github.com/GleSYS/API-docs/wiki/API-Documentation#emailcreatealias) to edit an existing alias. To delete an alias, use the [email/delete](https://github.com/GleSYS/API-docs/wiki/API-Documentation#emaildelete) endpoint. Be careful not to delete an email account by accident.
