[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1760382, member: 175845"] [I][/I] I guess I may not be understanding what you're describing but in my experience an email using an alias just shows the "alias" address and the "alias" name wanted or used — in other words it's just a working dummy and can use any proper characters email address/name. i.e.: legitimate characters and no spaces. i.e.: the OP could possibly have [I]john&helen.smith@anyserver.com[/I] or just [I]The_Smiths@anyserver.com[/I] Heck, you can have 5 different alias variations names with a Mac OS X Mail iCloud account I believe. Maybe fewer with iOS. Maybe using google for some examples might help, and using something like: [url]https://www.google.ca/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=how+does+an+alias+email+work&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&gfe_rd=cr&ei=d7U9WZHYHe7e8AeH_rTYBw[/url] and some hits like: [url]https://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/icloud-using-email-aliases[/url] [url]https://www.macobserver.com/tips/how-to-use-email-aliases-in-apple-mail/[/url] [url]https://support.apple.com/kb/ph2622?locale=en_CA[/url] Then when that's done and working, the new "alias" address(s) can be added to the Contacts name and/or as a completely new Contact. i.e.: john&helen smith - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
