I’ve got an Google Apps for Business account, in which I have a main email address that I use for everything related to my company—studio@...
I created an alias of this called careers@...
which I used for job applicants to send in their CVs. I then setup a rule to move all of the careers
emails to a folder called careers to keep my main inbox clean.
Now this careers folder is taking up almost all of the space in my mail account and I want to move it to its own account rather than just an alias.
But when I try to create the account, also called careers@...
it says this account already exists (I believe it's getting confused by the alias).
Is there a way round this?

Unfortunately not. Even though
careers@
is an alias, G Suite sees it as an existing address. Incoming emails would not know which is the correctcareers@
. If you were to create a group with the namecareers@
you would get the same error.You need to delete the alias and then create
careers@
's own account.https://support.google.com/a/answer/1071113?hl=en
