Restoring a deleted alias

If you deleted an alias by mistake or want to use it again, you can restore it so it starts forwarding emails again. Restored aliases behave like normal active aliases. This article explains how to restore a deleted alias. You cannot restore an alias that has been forgotten (unless it is a standard alias), it is permanent for shared domain aliases.

  3. Find the alias you want to bring back, select it by clicking the checkbox next to it and then click Restore (as shown by the red arrow below).
  4. Confirm when prompted. The alias will be active again and will forward incoming mail to your recipient(s).
Restore deleted alias in addy.io

After restoring, the alias appears in your main alias list and works as before. If you no longer want it at all, you can delete it again or forget it for permanent removal (see Deleting an alias for the difference).
