Grounded in available product and source data
Handing out a real inbox address to every newsletter and signup form is how it ends up flooded; Alias Email's answer is a disposable-feeling address that still behaves like a normal inbox — pick a name, point it at a real email, and the alias forwards from that point on.
What separates this from a pure one-way forwarder is the reply path: the dashboard includes a compose page that sends mail out from the alias itself, so a conversation started through an alias doesn't have to switch back to a personal address partway through. The Free tier caps out at 10 aliases and one attached domain, while Premium removes the alias cap entirely and allows a second domain — useful for someone who wants role-based addresses (support@, billing@) on their own domain rather than the service's default one.
On what happens to the mail itself, the site states forwarded messages are never stored past three days, that trackers embedded in incoming messages get stripped before the mail reaches the real inbox, and that the service itself has no access to inbox contents. It also states TLS covers mail in transit, SPF and DKIM are set up for sender verification, and PGP is available for anyone who wants an additional encryption layer on top.
A browser extension exists for faster alias creation while filling out a signup form elsewhere, but the page linking to it doesn't describe what it actually adds over the web dashboard — whether that's one-click generation at the point of signup, autofill, or something else isn't specified here, so anyone evaluating the extension specifically should check its own listing before assuming feature parity with the dashboard.
Both — the site describes a dedicated compose page in the dashboard for sending mail from an alias, so a conversation can continue from the alias itself rather than switching to a personal address to reply.
The site doesn't address this scenario — whether aliases above the Free tier's 10-alias cap get disabled, deleted, or left active until manually removed isn't specified, so anyone considering downgrading should export or note their active aliases first.
According to the site, no — forwarded emails are never stored longer than three days, and the service states it does not have access to inbox contents, though this is the site's own stated policy rather than an independently audited claim.
The site states it removes trackers from messages before forwarding them, aimed at preventing personal data from leaking through embedded tracking — a detail worth knowing for anyone specifically trying to reduce sender-side tracking, not just hide their real address.
The site doesn't specify — a downloadable extension is linked, but its added functionality beyond the dashboard (such as one-click alias generation at signup forms) isn't described on the page, so it's worth checking the extension's own listing before assuming what it does.
