On the Qube1, there is no GUI for managing aliases.  On the Qube2, I don't know.
He didn't say which it is.

Eric, edit the /etc/aliases file by hand, and add lines like
eric.leslie: 		eleslie.
When you'ved finished editing the file, run the command "newaliases".

I've currently got over 400 aliases!

And Joaquin, *please* learn to post properly.
