Create a New Mailbox<\/strong> First, create a brand-new email account with the desired name (e.g., <code>a.newhire@yourdomain.com<\/code>) in the <strong>Email<\/strong> section of your <strong>mybox<\/strong> panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Migrate the Data<\/strong> To keep the archive of messages from the old account, you can use the <strong>Mailbox Migration<\/strong> tool. This process copies all folders and emails from the original address to the new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Use an Alias (for simple name changes)<\/strong> If you just want to receive mail under a different name without creating a whole new account, you can add an <strong>Alias<\/strong>. For example, if your mailbox is <code>office@domain.com<\/code>, you can add <code>info@domain.com<\/code> as an alias. Both names will deliver mail to the same single inbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Distinction_Block\"><\/span>Distinction Block<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rename vs. Alias<\/strong> <strong>Renaming<\/strong> is not possible because it would break existing connections. <strong>An Alias<\/strong> is a &#8220;nickname&#8221; for your existing box. It is the best choice if you want to keep using the same login but want people to see a different address.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_Implications\"><\/span>Practical Implications<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Employee Transitions:<\/strong> When one person leaves and another takes over, migrating the old mailbox to a new address is the best way to ensure the new employee has access to the full communication history.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Updating Devices:<\/strong> If you create a new mailbox and migrate data, remember that your phone and computer are still looking for the <em>old<\/em> address. You will need to set up the new account on all your devices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Deleting the Old Box:<\/strong> Once the migration to the new address is complete and you have verified the data is there, you can safely delete the old mailbox to free up space in your plan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary\"><\/span>Summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While you cannot directly rename a mailbox, the <strong>mybox<\/strong> migration tools allow you to move your entire archive to a new address seamlessly.
