There are many reasons for wanting to change an email address, which is why many people have more than one email account. It can be difficult to make the change correctly, especially if you want to get rid of an address that has been used for years. Use these tips to find out how to change an email address efficiently.
Steps
Step 1. Select a new name
If you don't like the current address, but are satisfied with the email service provider, just create a new account using the name you want. This should be easy and free.
Please consider how you intend to use this email address before changing it. If you intend to use it for emails between friends, or for junk mail, the name doesn't matter. However, if it's for business, keep it simple and professional. # * Customize your new email address. Try to include your name, date of birth, or other memorable details. This will make it easier for you to remember the new e-mail address
Step 2. Choose a new email service provider if you are not satisfied with the current service
Consider the cost, the amount of memory for email storage, and the availability of a spam filter.
Find out if your internet service provider offers free email addresses for customers. This is often part of an Internet access package. However, if you want to switch ISPs, you'll need to get yet another email address, so make sure you're happy with your current login
Step 3. Find out if your service provider allows you to transfer mail from the old address to the new one
This will make it easier for you to stop using the old address, as you won't need to log in to check your mail.
Step 4. Update all sites that have old email addresses
The most important are your bank, creditors, and any tax programs you've used, as these tend to send invoices and reminders via email. Also update any social networking profiles.
Step 5. Email all your contacts to notify them of the change
Step 6. Transfer your address book to the new account
Otherwise, you will have to recollect all the email addresses of your acquaintances.
Step 7. Delete the old email address
This is only recommended if it is not possible to forward e-mails to the new address. If the service provider does not allow you to delete your account, just stop the registration as it will likely be automatically deleted due to lack of use.
