# Receive and Reply to an Email Sent to Your Alias

> Learn how to receive and reply to emails sent to your email alias in Maily without revealing your real identity.

Email aliases in Maily do not have their own inbox, so all emails sent to an alias will be forwarded to your root email address. You can reply to those emails from your real email without revealing your actual identity.

## Receive Forwarded Emails

When an email is sent to your alias, it will be automatically forwarded to your real email address. You will see the email in your inbox with the sender information displayed through the Maily relay address.
