How to create an email alias in Lattice Mail

By Jay Jarrett · 3 November 2026

Give a newsletter, shop or app its own email address without managing another inbox. Mail sent to your alias arrives in your existing Lattice mailbox. If you no longer want messages at that address, you can turn it off.

The free plan includes one alias. Paid plans include up to 30. Aliases share your mailbox storage and sending limits.

1. Open your account’s Mail settings

Sign in to Lattice and open Account → Mail. Find Email aliases.

If you don’t have an account yet, create a free Lattice account and finish setting up your Lattice Mail address first.

2. Choose a label

Under Make an alias, enter a label for the service you want to use it with, such as newsletters.

For example, if your primary address were alex@latticemail.com, that label would produce:

alex-newsletters@latticemail.com

This is an illustrative address; use the address shown in your own account. Enter only the label—the form supplies your mailbox name and domain.

Use 2 to 20 lowercase letters or numbers. Spaces, dots and dashes aren’t allowed in the label. Some names are reserved; choose another label if yours is unavailable.

3. Create your alias

Read the linked alias Terms and Privacy Notice. If you agree, select the agreement checkbox and click Create alias.

Wait for the alias’s status to change from Setting up to On before using it. Setup is not instantaneous.

4. Copy it and try it

Use the copy button next to your new alias. Paste it into a newsletter or service’s email-address field.

To test delivery first, send a message from another email account to the alias, then open Lattice Mail. The message arrives in your existing mailbox; you don’t need a separate login or inbox.

5. Turn it off when you need to

Go back to Account → Mail → Email aliases, choose Turn off beside the alias, and confirm. On a small screen, look in the alias’s … menu.

Wait until its status is Off. Once the change takes effect, new mail to that alias is refused. Messages already in your mailbox stay there. You can use Turn on to enable the alias again.

Before turning off an address used for an important account, update that service’s email address so you can still receive password resets and other essential messages.

What an alias does—and what it reveals

An alias gives you a separate address you can stop receiving mail at. It includes your primary mailbox name: someone seeing alex-newsletters@latticemail.com can infer alex@latticemail.com. It does not hide your primary address or prevent someone from contacting that address directly.

Turning off an alias also doesn’t unsubscribe you from a service or close your account there. Use that service’s settings when you want to unsubscribe.
