Set up a second email address
So far I have explained to you how to create a second email address and how to associate it with the main address you usually use. Now you are probably wondering if there is a way to make all your emails converge, so that you can check them in a practical and fast way without having to juggle the various Webmail services. Well, don't worry, because the answer is yes! You need to know that there are programs and applications called client which are used to manage emails, thanks to which it is possible to manage multiple accounts at the same time, of various services and providers, without associating them with each other.
