Initially, the Hotmail users kept using their existing accounts and received the option to get a “@outlook.com email address”.

However, later when Outlook.com was made completely effective as an official Microsoft email service, Hotmail users had to upgrade to Outlook. To upgrade, a Hotmail user doesn’t have to create a new separate Outlook account, they were allowed to use their existing Hotmail account in the new Outlook platform.

Adding an @outlook.com Alias to Your Account

Aliases are an excellent way to use different email addresses for the same account. An alias is an additional email address that is added to your account. Outlook allows you to add up to five aliases per year to your account and up to a maximum of 15 in total. You can send and receive emails from all these aliases. Moreover, Outlook also comes with the feature to automatically file emails sent to each alias in separate folders.

However, there are certain limitations that you should be aware of. These include:

• You can only create five aliases per account, per year. And, a total of 15 aliases are allowed to be created for a single account.
• Outlook allows you to send email from an alias in the Outlook.com web interface. However, if you are looking to send an email from an alias using your phone or other clients, you won’t be able to.
• Even if you try to send an email from your phone or other clients, it will still be sent from the primary address of your account. This is one of the limitations Outlook is working to remove.
• Though you can send and receive emails from your alias, you cannot sign in to your account using the alias. You will need to use your primary account name to sign in to your account.

Steps to Add an Alias to Your Account

If you are looking to add an alias to your Outlook account, you can do so easily by following the information provided below.

• To begin with, you will first need to sign in to the Outlook account at //outlook.com using your Hotmail account.
