βœ… Method 1: Microsoft 365 Admin Center (GUI)

  1. Navigate to Users β†’ Active users

  2. Click on test@example.com

  3. Select Mail tab

  4. Click Manage email aliases

πŸ‘‰ You’ll see:

  • Primary SMTP address

  • All secondary aliases (smtp:)


βœ… Method 2: Exchange Admin Center (GUI)

  1. Navigate to Recipients β†’ Mailboxes

  2. Click test@example.com

  3. Open Email addresses

This shows:

  • Primary email

  • All aliases

  • Proxy addresses (SMTP, SIP, etc.)


Step 1: Connect to Exchange Online

SMTP-only aliases

Azure AD does not always show all mail aliases, so use Exchange methods instead.
