I was trying to get familiar with the aliases function, kept adding and deleting the emails I tried. But by the time I wanted to add a proper one I've decided with, I couldn't anymore. I believe I've reached the yearly limit. Can I check whether this is true?

Hello, since it is less than 10, you will have to wait for 7 days to be able to add more alias. Here are some alias rules below:

Rules for adding an alias are

1 - A maximum of 2 alias addresses can be added within a rolling 7 day period. to add more you need to wait for 7 days

2 - A maximum of 10 active alias address can exist on an account

3 - A maximum of 10 alias addresses can be created within the previous rolling 12 month period

Please let me know if you need further assistance

Best Regards

    Currently I have 0 alias, with my primary email as the sole email. I am pretty sure that the aliases I've tried creating before has not reached the limit of 10.

    Hello, my name is Femi. I'm an Independent advisor and a Microsoft fan like you. I know how frustrating this can be and I'll be happy to help you out today.

    How many aliases have you created lately?

    There are two alias limits:

    1. a limit of 10 aliases total

    2.a limit of new aliases that can be created in one year is 10 aliases

    If you delete one of the account emails alias, it opens a spot in the 10 alias total limit, but does it not open a spot in the creation limit.

    After you reach the creation limit, you will have to wait one year before you can create new aliases.

    Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

    Best Regards

    Femi S.
