Email aliases (also known as personal names) allow UConn faculty, staff, and students to create variations of their e-mail addresses and still have them delivered to their institutional email account. All aliases point to your assigned address, which is the one registered with the mail server account.

• Learn how to choose from your existing aliases by visiting our Knowledge Base Guide.
• Or you can create a new aliases two ways:

1. Contact the Technology Service Center asking for an alias to update your address after a life event (marriage, divorce, etc.); these aliases are registered with the email system and will persist as long as you are associated with the University.
2. With "plus email aliases" you can create variations of your existing email addresses by inserting a ‘+’ and then a desired descriptor (e.g., jonathan.husky+phd@uconn.edu) This allows you to create a specific email address for a service without help from ITS and has the added benefit of informing you of where the sender found your address.
