Google Apps: How to Create an Email Alias

Google Apps users generally use one primary email address that allows them to log in and access their account within the site. In addition to this primary address, however, you can create email aliases, or nicknames, in the Google Apps admin control panel. The new email alias can automatically receive incoming emails sent to the alias. The account allows you to create up to 30 aliases for each Google Apps user.
