They allow you four 'aliases' I think it is as one address is already your log in one. Took a few days via this way so I guess if you ring their help desk they can do it for you there and then. Hope this helps Iris	Guest (0)

Bear in mind that they are not seperate email accounts. To have an entirely seperate email account with it's own name you'd need to set up a new one, which is chargeable. Remember that email addressed to any of your aliases will still go into the same inbox. As Iris said, best method is to call Xtra's helpdesk (2:30 - 3:30 pm is often a good time) and get them to set it up for you.	Guest (0)

I have done this with my 2 girls email addresses. I have created new folders and created message rules so when the 'To' line contains 'name' move to 'name' folder. To do this go to...... Tools|Message Rules|Mail, then click on New. Select Where the to line contains people (then click on blue link that appears in box Rule Description box and type in recipients name, then check Move to specified folder, then click on blue link and add folder name. Then ok. End result is that you have different aliases that go to same Inbox but they can be sorted into separate folders. Sam	Guest (0)
