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
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
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 it is relatively easy
Sign into your Skynet account on Thunderbird
Select Settings (bottom right)
Select Account Setttings
Select your Skynet email then Manage Identities
This screen has all your current Identities
Select Add
Add yer Name, Email Address you want to alias and select OK
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)
