You can always receive email using just your username with @sussex.ac.uk added to it, such as in
ano23@sussex.ac.uk
Members of staff and postgraduates normally have a 'friendly address' of the form:
A.N.Other@sussex.ac.uk
If you have such an address, it's best to use that in correspondence because it's easier for people to remember. Your 'friendly address' acts as a pseudonym, and is in fact delivered to your username, though this action is transparent to you and your correspondents.
Please note that undergraduate students do not normally have 'friendly-style' addresses and so are always emailed using their username @sussex.ac.uk. FAQ 523 explains this in more detail.
