Add an E-mail address to your account

Imagen currently offers two different types of additional E-mail addresses 


Alias E-mail Address:  An alias E-mail address adds an additional E-mail address to an existing mailbox.

Advantages: 

  • easiest way to retrieve mail for more than one address
  • uses existing E-mail software, username and password
  • you do not need to change anything you're doing right now in order to accept mail destined for this extra address

Disadvantages: 

  • all E-mail you send will show as coming from whichever address you have specified in your E-mail software as the reply to address
  • not a good solution if multiple people want to have completely separate E-mail

Separate E-mail Box:  A separate E-mail box is a completely new E-mail account.  Unlike the alias address a separate username and password is required to access the E-mail destined for this mail box.  You also need to either install additional E-mail software or have software that support multiple E-mail accounts, such as Outlook Express 4.0 and up.

Advantages:

  • mail shows as coming from the address that it is sent to

  • mail to more than one address can be kept completely separate

  • good solution if multiple people want to have completely separate E-mail

Disadvantages:

  • requires a separate username and password

  • requires extra E-mail software, or software that supports multiple mailboxes

  • more complicated to setup and use than an alias E-mail account
