    Set up an email alias

    In Spark, you can use an alias to conceal your email address from the recipient. For example, aliases might come in handy when a person has to use their account for business purposes, but the name of the account is not appropriate for professional situations.

    Spark supports aliases for Gmail, iCloud, and Yahoo email accounts. You can add as many aliases as you like.

    Tip: Spark also supports custom iCloud domains

    Before adding an alias to Spark, please set it up in the settings of your email provider. Follow one of these instructions to create an alias:
