Further definition of the individual editing options:
- Alias
- An e-mail alias is an alternative e-mail address that points to an existing user account.
Example:
The user "m.mustermann@sample-institution.rwth-aachen.de" wants to receive e-mails sent to "m.musterfrau@rwth-aachen.de" as well.
If you create "m.musterfrau@rwth-aachen.de" as an e-mail alias for "m.mustermann@sample-institution.rwth-aachen.de", the e-mails of both accounts will be delivered to the same inbox.
Any number of aliases can be created for an existing e-mail address.
Please note: Creating an alias that does not belon to the domain is not possible. Sample address: name1@institut.rwth-aachen.de
