Yale email alias
A Yale email alias is a secondary email address that forwards emails to your primary Yale email account. Here's how to set one up:
Step 1: Log in to Yale's email system
Go to the Yale email login page and log in with your Yale NetID and password.
Step 2: Access the Email Settings
Click on the gear icon () in the top right corner of the email page, then select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
Step 3: Create an Email Alias
In the "Settings" page, click on the "Aliases" tab.
Step 4: Add an Alias
Click the "Add an alias" button.
Step 5: Enter the Alias Information
Enter the desired alias email address (e.g., [email protected]) and a brief description (optional).
Step 6: Save the Alias
Click the "Save" button to create the alias.
How it works
When someone sends an email to your alias email address, it will be forwarded to your primary Yale email account. You can use your alias email address to receive emails from specific contacts, organizations, or for specific purposes (e.g., a project or committee).
Tips
- You can create multiple aliases, but each alias must be unique and not already in use by another Yale student or employee.
- Aliases are case-sensitive, so make sure to enter the alias exactly as you want it to appear.
- If you want to use an alias for a specific period, you can set an expiration date for the alias in the "Settings" page.
If you have any issues or questions about setting up an email alias, you can contact the Yale ITS Help Desk for assistance.
