How to Add an Alias in Open-Xchange

You can add additional email addresses, or email aliases, to individual mailboxes. This allows you to use the same mailbox with different domain names. For example, imagine you use "domain-one.com" as your primary domain name, and add "domain-two.com" as a secondary domain name. You can setup a mailbox, say for user Harry, to use both domain names to send and receive email: harry@domain-one.com and harry@domain-two.com.
