# Manage Aliases

An Alias allows you to create an e-mail address that forwards to a real e-mail account. For example, you can create several aliases such as first.name@domain.com and webadmin@domain.com that point to john@domain.com. john@domain.com would be the only mailbox created.

#### Adding an Alias

- Go to the [Admin Panel](https://cp.emailarray.com/admin).
- Log in using your Admin username and password.
- Click on **Aliases** in the menu bar.
- Click on the **New Alias** button.
- In the **Alias** field, type the alias (just the part before the at sign)
- In the **Domain field**, select the domain in which you will create an Alias.
- In the **Forward Destination,** choose **Internal** if you want to forward to an email address of the same domain or **External** to forward to any domain. **External** aliases are limited to 4 per account. After this limit, they count as regular mailboxes.
- In the **Forwards to** field, specify the e-mail account where emails will be sent to, for this alias.
- Click on the button **Add Alias.**

No other e-mail account or distribution list may have the same name as the Alias.

If you receive the error "**Alias already in use,**" it means you already have an existing Alias, User, or Distribution List with the same name.
