Identities represent email addresses you are sending from via an email (SMTP) server.

Some providers allow you to have multiple aliases addresses.

Some providers allow you to have multiple aliases addresses. Unfortunately, an email app cannot automatically discover alias email addresses, which means you have to configure them yourself.

The easiest way to create an alias address is to use the mini Create alias wizard. For this, please go to the settings via the navigation menu (left side menu), tap on Manual setup and account options, tap on Identities, long press the main identity, and select Create alias.

For more options, you can copy the main identity by long pressing on it, and change the email address and perhaps the (display) name. You should not change the username!

Note that you can select the default sending address via the three-dots overflow menu at the top right of the message editor (not the start screen!).
