VERIZON email Alias vs. Sub-account

[b***@invalid.com]

I hope this isnt' OT.

I have verizon.net for my ISP.

Beyond the regular email address, it offers both sub-accounts and
aliases, for free.

First, I created an alias, and now I'm trying to log in with Eudora 7
to fetch my email. It asks for the password and I give it the same
password as I use in general. But I get a password error.

When I created the alias, it had no place to enter a new password. So
doesn't that mean I'm supposed to use the same password I always use?
OTOH, it said that for a sub-account, I would need to enter a new
password and settings. I don't want to bother doing that, and there
is no need for extra security.

Second, in general, I don't know what the real difference is between
aliases and sub-accounts, but mostly I just want to be able to get my
email before I give out the address.

Thanks.

Never mind. It was my username, in the personality, not the password
at all. The error message was looking for an email address that
didn't exist, since I didn't put in the whole userid in the username
field. I forgot what it was meant for.
