Additional addresses

You can send some messages from your main Yandex email address and other messages from one of your mailbox aliases or a mailbox hosted on another service (like Gmail or Mail.Ru).

Mail aliases

When you register a Yandex account, you receive the following email addresses:

• The primary address in your country's domain, such as alice.the.girl@yandex.com.
• Additional addresses:
  • In the country domains "ru" (Russia), "by" (Belarus), and "kz" (Kazakhstan).
  • in the domain ya.ru

These addresses are considered aliases of your primary email address.

Aliases are required to maintain the uniqueness of your username.

Exclusive email address

If you have an active Yandex 360 plan, you can choose an exclusive email address. It's easy to remember and nice to share. For example, you can have an address like inbox@ivansytin.ru or alex@design-kukhni.ru.

When you get an exclusive address, it becomes an alias of your main Yandex mail address. Emails will be sent from the new address by default.

If your plan gets deactivated, you can use the exclusive address for another 30 days, so you have time to restore the plan. After 30 days, your exclusive address will be disabled.

Yandex provides the domain only for your email address. You can't place a separate website on the domain, connect other email addresses to it, or use it as an organization's domain. The domain will be assigned to your mailbox until your Yandex 360 plan expires or until you deactivate your exclusive email address. That means no one will be able to connect the same domain while you are using this exclusive email address.

Using corporate email addresses with your company's domain name is available only in Yandex 360 for Business. Read more about the terms of use of an exclusive email address in legal documents.

Mail addresses in other services

After confirmation, you will be able to choose either your Yandex address alias or your mailbox address on another service in the From field.

If you can't send messages from an address hosted on another mail service even though the message importer is set up correctly, it means that this service's security rules do not allow sending messages through third-party services, including Yandex Mail.
