Types of Email Addresses
There are two types of e-mail addresses, the preferred e-mail address and the e-mail address alias. The preferred email address is assigned when a person requests a University E-mail Mailbox, for example 'name@Exchange.ir.miami.edu. An existing e-mail address may also be used as the preferred e-mail. For example: Mary@hotmail.com, Joe@aol.com, etc.
The E-mail alias is a shortened version of the preferred e-mail address - the general format is 'name@miami.edu.' The preferred e-mail address may change over time as old e-mail systems are replaced or a person changes jobs within the University. An e-mail alias will allow your received e-mails to go to the correct mailbox regardless of the changes that have been made to your preferred e-mail address. An e-mail alias will only be changed at your request. Your e-mail alias address will be the one published and show up in the UM GAL.
GUIDELINES FOR REQUESTING A UM E-MAIL ALIAS ADDRESS

2. The alias should be as simple as possible.The less people need to type, generally the better.
