# Email
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
## Overview
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Email is an essential part of life now
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
An email is essentially your identity online
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well //an// identity, you can have many
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thus its incredibly important
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
[This talk is incredibly useful for a good overview][1]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
[We have SPF, DKIM and DMARK][4]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
## Aliases
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Delivering to //your// mailbox is all good and grand
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
But what if you want to be someone else?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Such as a service account, for example: ``root@skynet.ie``
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thankfully that is possible (if you are given access)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
[We have aliases set up for stuff like that][2]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
So anyone in these groups gets mail from these addresses sent to them
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
These (in our case) get sent to a subfolder in our inboxes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
But what if we want to send mail as the service account?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In [Thunderbird][3] it is relatively easy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sign into your Skynet account on Thunderbird
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Select ``Settings`` (bottom right)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
![img.png](9_email/settings.png)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Select ``Account Setttings``
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
![img_1.png](9_email/settings_account.png)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Select your Skynet email then ``Manage Identities``
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
![img_2.png](9_email/settings_account_page.png)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This screen has all your current Identities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Select ``Add``
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
![img_3.png](9_email/manage_identities.png)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Add yer ``Name``, ``Email Address`` you want to alias and select ``OK``
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
![img_4.png](9_email/manage_identity.png)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this example I would be able to send mail as ``this_is_a_real_email@skynet.ie``
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
(if I was actually allowed to do so)
