MS365 - How to create a Microsoft alias email account

What is an alias email?

An alias is a professional-looking email address that forwards all emails sent to it to your Microsoft email account. If you want professional emails for your business such as sales@, info@, reception@, etc., but don't want to buy a license for each one - then an alias is a perfect solution. All you need is one license and you can create up to 400 aliases.
