| 207519 | 2004-01-15 00:27:00 | Hi my neighbours across the road have 2 computers networked . One of them has an xtra account so they decided to call xtra and get another xtra email address on the account . They did this, now for the xtra email the account name and password is the same as the XTRA account owners . Now if someone receives a email, both email addresses will receive the same email . Is this normal for when you have multiple addresses or is something wrong with the way it is setup . Xtra told them that Username and password has to be the same on the extra email addy as the account holders . Please help . |

Email sent to the original or alias go into the same mailbox at xtra so when you check your email you get any email sent to either email address. You need to get a seperate email account instead. This usualy costs $27.95 to set up and then an extra $5 pre month on top of your normal Xtra bill. I could be wrong on those figures :D |

| 207521 | 2004-01-15 01:20:00 | Hi MrBeef, The additional email addresses from Xtra are alias addresses which means they use the same storage space, password, etc... but they have a redirector email address that redirects to your main email address storage. Your email client just downloads from the storage which include the main address and alias addresses. If you don't want to fork out money for a new mailbox which will give you a seperate main email address, then you can configure your email client to sort the addresses out with rules. This way your main address can all go into the main folder and the alias address can go into the alias address. Other things you may like to look at is making sure that your mail client doesn't remove the emails off the server so that the emails can be accessed again if needs be. You could try having managed accounts where for the main address you can tell it to reject the alias emails, for the alias account you can tell it to reject the main emails. These are just ideas, thought on the spot, I am unsure of how the outcome will be with the last idea but the sorting to folders is easily accomplished. Noel Nosivad |
