Aliases are created by users to give their email accounts a more personalized feel. Their email id may be a limited number of characters long, it is hard to remember or you don't want others to see that awful first name. (-:

So Instead of using the assigned email id, an alias allows you to use a variation.

Example of Given email ID: WilliamS or Billy192@YourDomainName.com Example of new Alias: BillS@YourDomainName.com

Obviously this presents a problem. Who's going to remember these e-mail addresses? An alias however can  have many characters.  So if you get stuck with billy192@YourDomainName.com you can create an alias for it like, Bills or BillyHoliday@YourDomainName.com. You can give this email address out to your friends and family. Instead of Billy192@YourDomainName.com.

When someone sends email to Bills@YourDomainName.com the e-mail is automatically deposited into the Billy192@YourDomainName.com account. As far as the sender is concerned BillyS@YourDomainName.com is the real email account.
