Alias not allowed in Mailbox Admin

The Mailbox Admin allows you to edit your User Options, including aliases. To manage your Mailbox you must login with an email address that owns a Mailbox.

Attempting to login with an alias will generate an error because the alias does not actually "own" a Mailbox. This is because the alias is not a physical Mailbox, it is only a virtual pointer to a physical Mailbox.

For example:

The following email addresses actually share the same physical Mailbox.

user@domain.com is a physical Mailbox and is also the Mailbox owner; this is the login needed to manage the Mailbox.
user@domain.org only points to user@domain.com

DOMAIN.COM is the primary domain name.
DOMAIN.ORG is an alias or a virtual pointer that points to DOMAIN.COM
