How to use MailZinga
What is an alias?
Every MailZinga user and every MailZinga contact gets an alias address. An alias is the magic dust that allows us to know what language to translate your emails to. When using MailZinga it is essential to send emails to the alias address and not the recipient’s actual email address.
Why do I need an alias?
When sending an email to the alias address, MailZinga knows to which language to translate the email and to which email address to send it. It is important to send emails from email addresses registered at MailZinga, we only translate emails received from addresses of registered users or their created contacts.
