Exchange mailbox alias

A mailbox alias, also known as an email alias or email forwarding, is an alternative email address that forwards emails to a primary email address. Here's how to exchange mailbox aliases:

Method 1: Using the Exchange Management Console

1. Open the Exchange Management Console on your Exchange server.
2. Navigate to the "Recipient Configuration" section.
3. Right-click on the mailbox you want to modify and select "Properties".
4. In the "General" tab, click on the "Email Addresses" button.
5. Click on the "New" button to add a new email address.
6. Enter the new alias email address and click "OK".
7. Repeat steps 4-6 to add multiple aliases.

Method 2: Using PowerShell

1. Open PowerShell and connect to your Exchange server using the following command: Connect-ExchangeServer -Server <ServerName>
2. Run the following command to add a new alias: Set-Mailbox -Identity <MailboxName> -EmailAddresses @{Add=<NewAliasEmail>}
3. Repeat step 2 to add multiple aliases.

Method 3: Using the Exchange Online Admin Center

1. Log in to the Exchange Online Admin Center.
2. Navigate to the "Recipients" section.
3. Click on the mailbox you want to modify.
4. Click on the "Edit" button.
5. In the "Email addresses" section, click on the "Add" button.
6. Enter the new alias email address and click "Save".

Tips and Considerations

• Make sure to update the mailbox's primary email address if you're removing an existing alias.
• You can also use the Set-Mailbox cmdlet to remove an alias: Set-Mailbox -Identity <MailboxName> -EmailAddresses @{Remove=<AliasEmail>}
• If you're using Exchange Online, you can also use the "Add alias" feature in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
• Be aware that some email clients may not support mailbox aliases, so it's essential to test the alias before making it the primary email address.

Remember to always test your mailbox aliases to ensure they're working correctly and forwarding emails to the intended recipient.
