Multi Email FAQ

The standard email address format looks like [username]@localdial.com, where username is the user's login name.

The multiple email address system functions in the same way.

The format for using multiple email addresses is slightly different from that of a single address. Instead of [username]@localdial.com,

The addresses will look like:

  • [name1].[username]@localdial.com
  • [name2].[username]@localdial.com
  • [name3].[username]@localdial.com
  • [namex].[username]@localdial.com

There is no need to contact Localdial.Com to set-up each individual email address, simply choose the names you wish to use and change the Reply to: field in your mail settings as appropriate.

There are many instances where you would wish to have more than one email address. Individual members of a family may wish to have their own address, perhaps using the family surname as the username (if available).

An example of this would be:

  • john.smith@localdial.com
  • mary.smith@localdial.com
  • anthony.smith@localdial.com
  • pauline.smith@localdial.com

When the Smith family comes to access its email, each family member's email can be distinguished via the address to which the mail has been sent.

If you do not wish to use multiple email addresses simply use the standard format of [username]@localdial.com
