How do I delete an alias?

Deleting an alias stops both sending and receiving for that email address, keeping your account nice and tidy.

To completely remove it, you'll need to do a quick bit of cleanup across your Accounts dashboard, Webmail, and your Thunderbird desktop client.

Deleting the alias from the Thundermail Accounts dashboard

1. Log in to the Thundermail Accounts dashboard.
2. Click the Settings button (⚙️) in the top right corner.
3. Click the "Email Aliases" heading to expand that section and reveal your aliases.
4. Next to the alias you'd like to delete, click the menu option (⁝) and select "Delete."

Removing the alias from Webmail

1. Log in to Thundermail Webmail.
2. Click the Contacts button (👥) in the left sidebar.
3. Under "Manage," click "Identities."
4. Select the identity that matches the alias you deleted.
5. Click the Trash Can button (🗑) above the identity to delete it.

Removing the alias from your Thunderbird client

1. Click the Thunderbird menu and select "Account Settings."
2. Click on your @thundermail.com account in the left sidebar.
3. Click the "Manage Identities…" button in the lower right of the account settings page. 
4. Select the identity that matches the alias you deleted and click "Delete."
5. In the pop-up that appears, confirm the deletion by clicking "Delete" again.
6. Click "Close" when you are done.

And that’s it - you're all set! With the alias removed from your Thundermail dashboard, Webmail, and the Thunderbird client, your account is completely cleaned up and ready to go.

If you ever need another alias address again later, you can follow the steps in our "How do I set up email aliases?" article.
