Verifying the Alias:
To confirm that the alias is working correctly:
- Send a test email to the alias address.
- Check the primary mailbox inbox.
- The email should appear in the same mailbox associated with the user account.
Key Points to Remember:
- An alias does not create a separate mailbox.
- Emails sent to the alias are delivered to the existing user account.
- Multiple aliases can be assigned to a single mailbox.
- Storage usage remains tied to the primary mailbox, not the alias.
