Each user has a primary email address created when the user account is added. It is, in most cases, the address you use to send and receive e-mail, which you use when you log into your account in Work2Go and it is the address you use when you set up your account in your phone or an email application on your computer. Some think that it is enough to just have one email address, while others ask for more, like e-mail aliases to their account. Then they can use more e-mail addresses, but do not have to log into different accounts to check their email. But did you know that you can actually create e-mail aliases yourself in Work2Go?
What is an e-mail alias anyway?
In addition to the primary e-mail address, you can also add more e-mail addresses, known as email aliases for your account. An email alias is an alternative email address that points to your existing account. For example, the user anna@testbolaget.com also like to receive e-mail addressed to anna.svensson@testbolaget.com. When you create anna.svensson@testbolaget.com as an e-mail alias to your account anna@testbolaget.com. You can create as many email alias as you’d like in Work2Go. There are no restrictions as at other companies.
Sort e-mail by using filters
If you do not want all e-mail that is sent to different email addresses will end up at one place in your inbox, you can create filters to sort them into different folders for you. Filters can also be created for messages that you send.
Send an e-mail from an e-mail alias
From your Work2Go account, you can also send e-mails that appear to come from an e-mail alias. To do so, create a role (persona) in your account. To the new role, you can also create a separate signature.
Dynamic e-mail aliases
Work2Go also gives you the ability to create dynamic aliases. You can write + text after the first part of the email address, for example anna+vital@testbolaget.com. The message will then be sent to the inbox of anna@testbolaget.com. You then have a filter that contains the “+ vital” moves such messages into a special folder when they are received.
