What is an email alias?
Email aliases are addresses that allow you to forward emails from one mail account to another. They are often used as a replacement for long or difficult to remember addresses. Email accounts at Johns Hopkins take the form of JHED ID followed by @jh.edu, @jhu.edu or @jhmi.edu.
If you are a faculty or staff member of Johns Hopkins University or Johns Hopkins Medical Institution you may elect to create a custom email alias.
