please improve sync features. if i have account a@with alias b@ c@ d@ e@i want to use all alias as sync accounts, without need to open bedge@ cedge@ dedge@ eedge@...would be much easier.

But those aliases are for Emails at Outlook, they are not separate Microsoft accounts. they are part of the same account and share the same storage and user data which are in the cloud.

HotCakeX yes i know, but why opening 50 users if i can just open 5 user and use 10 alias/user to sync such data. they just need to sync 10 different setting, based on the alias i use. at the moment is like google, where they ask 1 account for each bookmarks and then they complain about the amount of accounts, by disabling some accounts (is not the first time). an alias based sync would help and avoid microsoft to have to many accounts only used for bookmark sync.

edgesuggestions Yes indeed why would someone create a lot of aliases on their Outlook and then expect them to work as a separate Microsoft account? Google? they don't let you create aliases, so i don't know how it is better than a Microsoft account! you just have to remember that aliases are only, and only, for Outlook Emails, nothing else. they are Not a separate Microsoft account. Outlook.com lets you have multiple aliases associated with a single account, and you can choose which email address you send email from. Creating alternate addresses to use on websites or apps that force you to register can help keep your personal email address out of the hands of marketers and hackers. that is the primary use of Outlook email aliases. so don't confuse them with Microsoft accounts. Google does Not offer this feature to its users. you can create as many Microsoft accounts as you want/need. Add or remove an email alias in Outlook.com - Outlook (microsoft.com)

HotCakeX HotCakeX yes i know Google? they don't let you create aliases, so i don't know how it is better than a Microsoft account! i never said google is better, since i said that with google i need to use every chrome sync account with another google account. PS: is still possible with google, but works really bad (or at least no gsuite related). you need to write email+alias@gmail.com (so +xxx after the email). i know that alias are email related. but at the end every alias has a name like a real account, so i think devs should be able to save edge bookmarks of a@outlook.it, b@outlook.it to my one drive aliasaccount@outlook.it which contain my alias a@, b@.... do you understand what i mean? it's something related to email, but edge could use it too. especially because microsoft limits a lot the amount of account that can be created and verified once created with the same phone number. so opening for example 50 accounts is possible, but not easy (especially for people that don't own 30-40 sim numbers like me). this example can be applied even for just 5 accounts.. in such case you open 1 account, 5 alias and not 5 accounts.

HotCakeX seems the answer was not saved, so i copy it again. @HotCakeX yes i know Google? they don't let you create aliases, so i don't know how it is better than a Microsoft account! i never said google is better, since i said that with google i need to use every chrome sync account with another google account.PS: is still possible with google, but works really bad (or at least no gsuite related). you need to write email+alias@gmail.com (so +xxx after the email). i know that alias are email related. but at the end every alias has a name like a real account, so i think devs should be able to save edge bookmarks of a@outlook.it, b@outlook.it to my one drive aliasaccount@outlook.it which contain my alias a@, b@.... do you understand what i mean. it's something related to email, but edge could use it too. at the end edge sync account is not related to edge browsing account, like i reported in another post and if you are always the admin, it doesn't make any difference if microsoft store such data using 5 accounts or 1 account with 5 alias, at the end your are the admin. second reason is because microsoft limit a lot the amount of account that can be created and verified once created with the same phone numbers. so opening for example 50 accounts is possible, but not easy (especially for people that don't own 30-40 sim numbers like me).
