Create an Outlook Alias Email Address
In the Outlook desktop program, you can add other email accounts to use as aliases. If you’ve already added an email to Outlook, using that account as an alias is simple, or you can create a new email alias within the program when you need it.
Create an Outlook.com Alias Email Address
In Outlook.com, an alias can be an email address you use to respond to people with a different email address from the same account. For example, if you have an Outlook.com email address for work, set up an alias for personal email. If you changed your name and want to use it with your existing account, set up an alias to keep your contacts and archived email. Microsoft permits users to have up to 10 aliases on their accounts at any given time, and you can use any of them to work in Outlook.com. To set up a new Microsoft alias email address you can use with your Outlook.com mail account: Your primary Outlook.com email address is the one you use to open your Microsoft account. You can sign in to your account with any of your aliases.
