Email Account

• An Email account us a physical email space in the server is allocated for that email account which store all incoming emails that are address to that email address.
• Users will be given their email password so that they can check their emails in the email server from Webmail or they can download their emails from the email server to their Email Clients in their own PCs.
• You can create new email accounts by loggin into the Control Panel.

Email Forwarding

• If a user who has an email account, 'email1@xxx.com', wish to forward whatever emails that he will receive to another email account ''email2@xxx2.com'', you can do so by setting the Mail Forwarding.
• You can do forwarding to multiple emails.
• In short, Forwarding means directing the emails from a email account to some other email accounts.

Email Alias

• Email Alias is an account that does not take up any physical email space in the server.
• Alias account is merely a virtual (Non-existing) email address, that forwards whatever emails addressed to this account, to one or more email account.
• You cannot check / download email using alias account, because alias account is virtual and does not take up an email space. It merely do forwarding.
• For example, you have a 2 person having email account '1@domain.com' and '2@domain.com'. You want to have people / clients sending email address to "0@domain.com" to both the 2 persons to receive the emails. It will be redundant to create an email account 0@domain.com" because nobody will be checking emails from this email account, instead this email will be check by '1@domain.com' and '2@domain.com'.
