[chrisjj]

On a Guest account, Options Aliases says "You may add email aliases using the list below."

This is false.

This is false.

It's not false: if you try to add an alias it will not work. The options screens are similar for many account levels. There are many things that will not work (as a guest) that will work at the higher account levels.

Correct. Meaning the quoted statement is indeed false.

> The options screens are similar for many account levels.
> There are many things that will not work

But few that are claimed to.

There is a screen that will allow you to try to add a virtual domain even if you have only a guest account...

These are generic screens for all account levels... (they have been the way they are for time immemorial)

Yup, and its "You may add virtual aliases using the list below." is false too. But some other screens' wording avoids such misadvice.

> These are generic screens for all account levels...

I guess that made them easier to program!
