When it comes to online privacy,\u00a0email aliases<\/a>\u00a0are unsung heroes.<\/p>\n Your email address is part of your digital identity. What\u2019s more, in many instances, it\u2019s half of only two parts of information needed to unlock your sensitive online information.<\/p>\n You can protect your digital identity using an email alias. By doing so, you don\u2019t have to expose your real email address to vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n To learn more about the benefits of a private email for the privacy-conscious, keep reading.<\/p>\n Remember that old email account? By now, it\u2019s probably buried in spam.<\/p>\n When you first started using email, everything on the internet was most likely new and exciting. As a result, you probably signed up for everything imaginable.<\/p>\n Spammers take advantage of that excitement. They use it to capture your personal email information.<\/p>\n In some cases, a spammer might sell your email address to a malicious service. Again, a spammer could also obtain your real email address during a data breach.<\/p>\n You can use a site such as\u00a0Have I Been Pwned<\/a>\u00a0to check the integrity of your email address. It may surprise you to learn how many times your email account has been compromised. In fact, it can prove pretty scary.<\/p>\n The Have I Been Pwned tool contains a database of breached websites, such as Facebook.com, Twitter.com, Linkedin.com, and others. Once you see how many times your email address has been compromised, you\u2019ll better understand you should never use your real email addresses on social media or other websites.<\/p>\n If you have an older email address, it was most likely compromised during several data breaches. Once hackers get your real email address, it can prove easy for them to cross-reference your information to access your accounts.<\/p>\n With an email service such as Thexyz.com, however, you can keep your personal email address safe.<\/p>\n An email aliases an important tool in helping you to maintain your online privacy. It can help you to identify and prevent\u00a0spam and phishing<\/a>\u00a0attempts.<\/p>\n For instance, you could use an email alias for online shopping. You\u2019ll want to use your email alias only for that purpose.<\/p>\n When you receive an email from another address claiming there was a problem with your account, you\u2019ll know that it\u2019s a scam.<\/p>\n Now, you can report the false email as spam or phishing. More importantly, you can feel good about knowing that you made it harder for a scammer to fool you.<\/p>\n An\u00a0email alias<\/a> is a digital pseudonym. With it, you can keep your online activity and<\/span> information safe.<\/p>\n Businesses have used email aliases for years. A few of the top business email alias examples are:<\/p>\n You can use an email alias for your personal account in much the same way.<\/p>\n You can share your email alias with anyone confidently. Meanwhile, you\u2019ll never have to reveal your real email address.<\/p>\n It helps to understand that you do not need another email account for an email alias. With an email alias, you get access to an email address\u2014and that\u2019s it. Resultantly, you won\u2019t have to worry about spending money on multiple email accounts.<\/p>\n It\u2019s easy to access mail that gets sent to your email alias. Your alias forwards your email directly to your regular email account.<\/p>\n At the same time, it\u2019s easy to send mail using your email alias address. You simply select the email alias you want to use in the \u201cFrom\u201d line of your existing account.<\/p>\n Nearly everyone has an old email account from when they first started using the internet. By now, that old email account is probably inundated with spam and newsletters.<\/p>\n You most likely signed up for a lot of things with that old account. However, that was probably another lifetime ago.<\/p>\n Now, your interests most likely have changed vastly. Accordingly, most of the emails you receive in your old account are no longer relevant.<\/p>\n One great thing about an email alias is that you can use it temporarily. Your email alias can evolve with your tastes and preferences.<\/p>\n Email aliases are perfect for testing out new products. They\u2019re also great for subscribing to newsletters.<\/p>\n You might want to sign up to stream a workout class. Alternatively, you may have a fleeting interest in a celebrity podcast. In either case, you can use your email alias to ensure that your inbox isn\u2019t flooded with a lifetime of momentary interests.<\/p>\n In most cases, you won\u2019t want to receive messages from a service or newsletter for the rest of your life. A simple way to avoid this fate is to use an email alias. This way, various services will never have your permanent email address.<\/p>\n With an email service such as Thexyz, for example, you can create up to 50 email aliases. You can use them to sign up for every new service that you want. Once you no longer want to receive messages from a certain time period, you can simply delete the email alias.<\/p>\n There are other reasons why you may want to use an email alias. For instance, you might want to use your temporary email address for networking or personal branding.<\/p>\n You might also use it if you\u2019re participating in a professional networking event. You might also give out your email alias if you\u2019ve been hired for a speaking engagement. With an email alias, you can also build your personal brand safely.<\/p>\n When you\u2019re promoting your personal brand, one of the best things that you can do is buy a domain for your name. You don\u2019t even have to set up a website. Once you purchase the domain, however, you can immediately use it with a service such as Thexyz to send and receive email.<\/p>\n Now, you can create any combination of personal emails. Many people opt for a personal email with the following format:<\/p>\n [First Name]@[First Name\/ Last Name].com<\/p>\n With your own domain, you can create event-specific email aliases. You don\u2019t even have to reveal your brand-new personal domain email address.<\/p>\n Still, you can track your event connections separately. Now, you\u2019ll know that every email you received from a specific alias came from a particular event.<\/p>\n Imagine that a public speaker named Jim Brown wanted to use an email alias.<\/p>\n Jim is going to deliver a TED talk at SXSW. Fortunately, Jim had the foresight to purchase JimBrown.com. Jim can now use his Thexyz.com email account to set up the following email address:<\/p>\n sxsw@jimbrown.com<\/p>\n Now, Jim knows that every email that gets sent to sxsw@jimbrown.com is from an SXSW attendee.<\/p>\n Jim can now easily count the emails he receives to gather metrics about the effectiveness of his networking. This method is an easy way to gauge the value of attending a particular event.<\/p>\n What\u2019s more, Jim doesn\u2019t have to use his @JimBrown.com email address to respond.<\/p>\n With Thexyz email, you can easily keep track of your active aliases. You can also create and delete aliases easily. You can even choose where your aliases forward email messages.<\/p>\n Again, email aliases are a powerful tool for combating spammers and other malicious actors.<\/p>\n For instance, not too long ago, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) penalized one of the biggest spammers in existence. The CRTC levied a\u00a0massive $75,000 fine<\/a>\u00a0on the perpetrator. It was the largest find of this type ever issued at the time.<\/p>\n The offender repeatedly sent messages without the consent of recipients. Between 2015 and 2018, Scott William Brewer successfully sent more than 670,000 spam emails, resulting in the $75,000 fine.<\/p>\n His spam campaigns were mostly for affiliate and web marketing. Many of them included promotions for online casinos. The casinos compensated Brewer for bringing them new customers.<\/p>\n Brewer knew exactly what he was doing. He came up with a way to circumvent systems to avoid spam.<\/p>\n He delivered his messages electronically across an extremely short time span. This tactic prevented real-time block lists from blocking his messages.<\/p>\n Brewers\u2019 tactic is called a hailstorm campaign. Most often, spammers use this tactic to make money through some form of affiliate marketing.<\/p>\n The malicious actor\u2019s actions were very disruptive to Canadian citizens. As a result, the CRTC made an example out of Brewer. They wanted the public to know that people are just as accountable as businesses for respecting people\u2019s privacy.<\/p>\n Ultimately, CRTC investigators discovered that Brewer sent millions of emails to successfully reach 670,000 Canadian citizens.<\/p>\n Spammers don\u2019t care about your privacy or causing an inconvenience. They just want to make money any way that they can\u2014even if they have to wreak havoc on service provider systems and your inbox.<\/p>\n Another way to try to avoid spammers is with sub-addressing. With sub-addressing, you\u2019d simply add an extension to your real email address. You may also hear a sub-address extension called a tag.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s imagine that Jim Brown created a sub-address. He might create an email address that reads as follows:<\/p>\n sxsw.jim@jimbrown.com<\/p>\n This tactic seems like a good idea. However, it has a few drawbacks.<\/p>\n Firstly, not every email provider supports sub-addressing. If Jim were to give this email address out at SXSW, the emails he received would bounce if his provider doesn\u2019t support sub- addressing.<\/p>\n Still, some email providers do support sub-addressing. Any email that Jim receives will still go to jim@jimbrown.com.<\/p>\n However, there\u2019s a bigger underlying issue. Sub-addressing makes it easy to identify your real email address.<\/p>\n A spammer won\u2019t take the time to single out your sub-address. However, they would use a computer program that will strip your sub extension from the email address so that they can send spam to your real account.<\/p>\n Imagine that you use your sub-address for a site that experienced a data breach. Now, our spammer would use their program to remove your sub-address extension and start sending spam to your real email address.<\/p>\n Now, you have no idea where the spam originated. Accordingly, you have no recourse for getting rid of the spammer.<\/p>\n Finally, an email service provider might deem your sub-address invalid. Some service providers do not allow you to create email addresses that contain the symbols required to create a sub-address.<\/p>\n There are a couple of advantages to using genuine email aliases. First of all, they look exactly like a real email address.<\/p>\n What\u2019s more, it\u2019s more difficult\u2014if not impossible\u2014for a spammer to reverse engineer your real email address from an alias. An email alias is so different from your real email address there\u2019s no way for them to hack your information.<\/p>\n In effect, an email alias shields your real email address and personal data <\/span>from prying eyes. Furthermore, if you start to receive spam through your email alias, you can simply turn off the alias or delete it. Now, the spam will stop immediately.<\/p>\n With a private email service such as Thexyz, you can also set up catchall or wildcard aliases. With this feature, you can capture all emails sent to your domain.<\/p>\n Email aliases enable you to do more with your email. However, you don\u2019t need to use an email alias for everything.<\/p>\n With a catchall or wildcard alias, you can filter any email sent to that address to a single account.<\/p>\n For instance, you can set up an account such as *@JimBrown.com. Now, this account will catch any incorrectly spelled or prefixed emails sent to your domain.<\/p>\n Furthermore, you can give out email addresses without the need to create an alias. Simply make up an email prefix on the spot, and your catchall account will route the email to your inbox, no matter what name you provide before the @.<\/p>\n You can also use email aliases to organize your inbox. Some people are highly organized and use a varied email ID for all products and services they use. People often struggle to\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The same applies to people\u2019s inboxes. No matter how neat you keep things organized, it seems like a little junk always seems to make its way into your inbox.<\/p>\n You can manage junk in your inbox with an email alias. For example, you can use your aliases to direct mail from specific sources to predefined folders.<\/p>\n You\u2019d set up a rule to send specific emails to a separate folder to accomplish this task. You\u2019ll create these rules using the filters and rules section in your settings.<\/p>\n You can also move mail by searching for a particular email address. Now, you can choose the option to create a new rule for the email address.<\/p>\n All the emails in your inbox will automatically transfer to the folder that you create. Your email account will also forward any future emails from that address to the folder. You can use email aliases in this way to keep your inbox organized.<\/p>\n This technique will help you to save time. It\u2019s much faster than reviewing emails manually and moving them to folders one at a time.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re just starting a business, you can use email aliases to stay connected with a small team. Alternatively, you may want to use your email alias to manage a personal event.<\/p>\n In either case, an email alias can help you to save time. It can help you deliver important information to groups of people quickly. In this way, an email alias can empower you to work smarter.<\/p>\n Here, you\u2019d create an alias where the target group is your contact list. You can set up a contact list using a free\u00a0group list service<\/a>.<\/p>\n Any message that goes to your alias will get forwarded to all members of the group. This setup will make it easier for you to manage small projects.<\/p>\n It\u2019s worth noting that this tactic only works well when you need to stay connected to a few people. If you need to manage a larger team or group of people, you\u2019ll need a more robust communication solution.<\/p>\n Thexyz email service gives users access to\u00a0auto aliases<\/a>. Auto aliases are additional email addresses that protect your real email address.<\/p>\n They\u2019re limited to specific domains. The following is a shortlist of these kinds of common email aliases:<\/p>\n Thexyz makes it easy to use auto aliases. What\u2019s more, you can put them to use right away.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s revisit Jim Brown\u2019s email account for an email alias example. Again, his email address is jim@jimbrown.com.<\/p>\n Whenever Jim uses his Webmail, he\u2019ll use this address. However, he can use an auto alias to keep his real email address from getting exposed.<\/p>\n He may have no problem giving some people his real email address. However, he may have times when he wants to receive an email from someone without providing his real information.<\/p>\n In that case, Jim can pick from one of the auto aliases in the above list. For example, he could provide someone with an email address such as Jim@ca.xyz.am.<\/p>\n You can also create custom aliases with a Thexyz email account. For example, Jim might want to receive business emails at james@jamesbrown.com. Meanwhile, he wants to receive personal emails at jim@jamesbrown.com.<\/p>\n When Jim creates his email alias, he\u2019ll need to point his emails to a real email address. In this way, he can create a fast temporary email whenever needed.<\/p>\n To accomplish this task, you\u2019d need to log into your Thexyz admin control panel. Now, you\u2019ll locate email accounts under the email hosting section. There, you\u2019ll click the \u201cManage Aliases\u201d link.<\/p>\n Here, you\u2019ll click the \u201cAdd Alias\u201d button to create a new email address. Now, you can choose the email address that you want to associate with the alias. Finally, you\u2019ll click the \u201cAdd\u201d button.<\/p>\n With Thexyz, you can establish an unlimited number of free alias email addresses.<\/p>\n Thexyz is an award-winning secure email service provider.

Any email that Jim receives will still go to jim@jimbrown.com.\r\n\r\nHowever, there\u2019s a bigger underlying issue. Sub-addressing makes it easy to identify your real email address.\r\n\r\nA spammer won\u2019t take the time to single out your sub-address. However, they would use a computer program that will strip your sub extension from the email address so that they can send spam to your real account.\r\n\r\nImagine that you use your sub-address for a site that experienced a data breach. Now, our spammer would use their program to remove your sub-address extension and start sending spam to your real email address.\r\n\r\nNow, you have no idea where the spam originated. Accordingly, you have no recourse for getting rid of the spammer.\r\n\r\nFinally, an email service provider might deem your sub-address invalid. Some service providers do not allow you to create email addresses that contain the symbols required to create a sub-address.\r\n
Using Your Email Alias<\/h2>\r\nThere are a couple of advantages to using genuine email aliases. First of all, they look exactly like a real email address.\r\n\r\nWhat\u2019s more, it\u2019s more difficult\u2014if not impossible\u2014for a spammer to reverse engineer your real email address from an alias. An email alias is so different from your real email address there\u2019s no way for them to hack your information.\r\n\r\nIn effect, an email alias shields your real email address from prying eyes. Furthermore, if you start to receive spam through your email alias, you can simply turn off the alias or delete it. Now, the spam will stop immediately.\r\n
An Added Bonus with Private Email Service<\/h3>\r\nWith a private email service such as Thexyz, you can also set up catchall or wildcard aliases. With this feature, you can capture all emails sent to your domain.\r\n\r\nEmail aliases enable you to do more with your email. However, you don\u2019t need to use an email alias for everything.\r\n\r\nWith a catchall or wildcard alias, you can filter any email sent to that address to a single account.\r\n\r\nFor instance, you can set up an account such as *@JimBrown.com. Now, this account will catch any incorrectly spelled or prefixed emails sent to your domain.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, you can give out email addresses without the need to create an alias. Simply make up an email prefix on the spot, and your catchall account will route the email to your inbox, no matter what name you provide before the @.\r\n
Use Your Email Aliases to Get Organized<\/h2>\r\nYou can also use email aliases to organize your inbox. Some people are highly organized. Nevertheless, everyone has junk lying around their house somewhere.\r\n\r\nThe same applies to people\u2019s inboxes. No matter how neat you keep things organized, it seems like a little junk always seems to make its way into your inbox.\r\n\r\nYou can manage junk in your inbox with an email alias. For example, you can use your aliases to direct mail from specific sources to predefined folders.\r\n\r\nYou\u2019d set up a rule to send specific emails to a separate folder to accomplish this task. You\u2019ll create these rules using the filters and rules section in your settings.\r\n\r\nYou can also move mail by searching for a particular email address. Now, you can choose the option to create a new rule for the email address.\r\n\r\nAll the emails in your inbox will automatically transfer to the folder that you create. Your email account will also forward any future emails from that address to the folder. You can use email aliases in this way to keep your inbox organized.\r\n\r\nThis technique will help you to save time. It\u2019s much faster than reviewing emails manually and moving them to folders one at a time.\r\n
Email Aliases Is For Businesses<\/h2>\r\nIf you\u2019re just starting a business, you can use email aliases to stay connected with a small team. Alternatively, you may want to use your email alias to manage a personal event.\r\n\r\nIn either case, an email alias can help you to save time. It can help you deliver important information to groups of people quickly. In this way, an email alias can empower you to work smarter.\r\n\r\nHere, you\u2019d create an alias where the target group is your contact list. You can set up a contact list using a free\u00a0group list service<\/a>.\r\n\r\nAny message that goes to your alias will get forwarded to all members of the group. This setup will make it easier for you to manage small projects.\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s worth noting that this tactic only works well when you need to stay connected to a few people. If you need to manage a larger team or group of people, you\u2019ll need a more robust communication solution.\r\n

Creating an Email Alias<\/h3>\r\nYou can also create custom aliases with a Thexyz email account. For example, Jim might want to receive business emails at james@jamesbrown.com. Meanwhile, he wants to receive personal emails at jim@jamesbrown.com.\r\n\r\nWhen Jim creates his email alias, he\u2019ll need to point his emails to a real email address. In this way, he can create a fast temporary email whenever needed.\r\n\r\nTo accomplish this task, you\u2019d need to log into your Thexyz admin control panel. Now, you\u2019ll locate email accounts under the email hosting section. There, you\u2019ll click the \u201cManage Aliases\u201d link.\r\n\r\nHere, you\u2019ll click the \u201cAdd Alias\u201d button to create a new email address. Now, you can choose the email address that you want to associate with the alias. Finally, you\u2019ll click the \u201cAdd\u201d button.\r\n\r\nWith Thexyz, you can establish an unlimited number of free alias email addresses.\r\n
