Having an email alias is very useful if you do not want to give out your main email ID to someone, and do not want to create a new one – but instead manage the account from your existing account. This way, you can use different email IDs for different things easily.

You can also rename the new folder. Make your choice and click on Done. Your new folder will be created.
Go back to the previous page, and then you can set them as a Primary email account.
To send email messages from this alias, click on your address, above the To line in the message, and select your alias from the list. If you set up a separate inbox folder for your alias, messages sent to that alias will go there. Otherwise, messages sent to your alias will go to your regular inbox. You can’t sign in to your account with your alias; you’ll need to sign in with your regular address. TIP: Get country-specific Outlook Email IDs like @outlook.in, etc.
