>		Email aliases can be created and deleted from Account:Aliases. Regular Runbox accounts may have up to 10 aliases on the runbox.* domains or on a domain you host with Runbox (see the Email Hosting help page). Each alias can forward email to your main Runbox account (default), or to another Runbox email address of your choosing.
 

Using an alias

Changed:
<
<		To send email from several different aliases (email addresses) using the Runbox Webmail, you can make use of the folder-specific Preferences feature. In Runbox, every Webmail folder can have its own set of Preferences, which lets you have different profiles depending on what folder you are in when composing/replying to/forwarding email.

  When on the Compose screen, the "From" drop-down menu will default to the From address specified (if any) in the Preferences for the folder you're in. If the folder doesn't have a specific From address set up, the menu will default to your main Runbox email address.

Using an alias via POP3

Once you have set up its filter and folder, an alias can be accessed in an email client, using POP access. Follow the general instructions for setting up your preferred email client, but with two changes:
Changed:
<
<
  • Set the Incoming Server username as username%runbox.com%Foldername, where "Foldername" is the name you gave the alias' folder in the Webmail. Note: If you send messages you must make sure the Outgoing (SMTP) Server setup is using just the username and not the same settings as the Incoming (POP3) Server.
  • Set the Email address field in your client as alias@runbox.com, where "alias" is the alias you set up previously.

The drop-down menu lets you choose between all the different From addresses configured in the account, so that all of them are accessible from any Webmail folder.

  Optionally, you can filter email sent to each address into its own Webmail folder, using Manager:Filter. For each address, create a dedicated Webmail folder, and then a filter, where you specify that "messages where To contains [address] will be saved to folder [foldername]". Any blocked senders, spam or virus filtering will still be applied.

To send email from several different aliases (email addresses) using the Runbox Webmail, you can make use of the folder-specific Preferences feature. This means that every Webmail folder can have its own set of Preferences, which lets you have different profiles depending on what folder you are in when composing/replying to/forwarding mail.

  • Set the Email address field in your client as alias@runbox.com, where "alias" is the alias you set up previously.

In order for the POP3 access to work properly, the alias folder name should not contain any spaces.
