00:00Ever feel like your inbox is out of control and your personal email is exposed to everyone? What

00:15if there's a way to take back control and protect your privacy? Let's explore how ProtonMail's

00:20email aliases can help you enhance your email privacy and organization.

00:24They don't have things organized. Email aliases are additional email addresses

00:32linked to your main ProtonMail account. They allow you to send and receive emails

00:37without revealing your personal email address. Think of aliases as nicknames

00:42for your email. That's a nickname? For example, you can use your main email

00:47address for important communications like work and personal emails. But when

00:51signing up for public Wi-Fi at the airport or a newsletter from a shopping

00:55site, you would create an alias instead. By using aliases, you can block spam and

01:00unwanted messages from reaching your main inbox while keeping your real email

01:04address private. Aliases make managing your online identity easier and safer, giving

01:10you control over who can reach you and when. ProtonMail offers several types of

01:17aliases to suit your needs. Plus aliases, additional email addresses, and hide my

01:23email aliases. Each type offers unique benefits for managing your email.

01:31Creating a plus alias is as simple as adding a plus and a keyword after your

01:35username. For example, your username. The plus sign and shopping at Proton.me when

01:42signing up for online stores. Emails sent to this alias will arrive in your inbox and

01:47you can easily identify where they came from. It's that easy, no setup required.

01:54Want even more flexibility? ProtonMail lets you create entirely new email

01:59addresses that are linked to your account. In ProtonMail settings, click on Identity

02:03and Addresses, then Add Address. Choose a username and select a ProtonMail domain

02:09or your custom domain. Then choose a display name and click Save Address.

02:14It's an easy upgrade to expand your email options while keeping everything secure.

02:20For maximum privacy, use Hide My Email aliases to keep your personal email completely hidden.

02:26Go to the Security Center and click Create an Alias. ProtonMail generates a unique,

02:32randomly created address you can use for signing up on websites, free trials,

02:36or anywhere you prefer extra privacy. And if an alias starts receiving spam,

02:42it's easy to deactivate it with a simple toggle. Hide My Email aliases are perfect for keeping

02:47your inbox clean and your identity secure. Now let's use aliases to keep your inbox organized.

02:56Go to Settings, then Filters. For example, move all emails sent to work.eric

03:03at Proton.me directly into a dedicated folder, such as Work. This way, your emails are organized

03:10without any extra effort. Aliases help protect your personal email, keep spam at bay, and make

03:16managing your emails a breeze. For even more control, integrate aliases with ProtonPass.
