This free feature, called Alias , has been deployed by Microsoft to apply to all Windows Live Hotmail accounts worldwide. This is a pioneering improvement over Gmail, the biggest rival of Hotmail and also a service with many good features that Hotmail must "study".
Most users who regularly use the Internet use two or three email addresses or more and this also causes a lot of trouble on account management. While dividing email addresses for proper needs is essential, the inconvenience increases in proportion to the number of email accounts each person has.
Windows Live Hotmail Aliases feature will solve this problem. It helps create completely different email addresses that you can use to receive email into your main account and the bottom line is that no one else knows what the main account is.
In essence, Microsoft provides users with the ability to create screens to prevent spam and protect user identities when online more effectively. For simplicity, you have a Hotmail account with quantrimang@live.com (or @ hotmail.com ) but don't want to let others know this real email address when registering on forums or websites, so is that you create another five "virtual" email addresses from the main address like quantrimang.com.vn@live.com . If sending an email to a virtual address, it will be forwarded directly to the main address. So that the quantrimang@live.com address is always safe before email scanners to send spam or some nosy person is looking at your information.
Currently, Microsoft allows each user to create 5 virtual accounts in a year and the maximum number of 50 virtual accounts. Managing virtual email accounts in the main account's mailbox is also quite easy.
