Hi All!
When you change your email addy in gmail, I mean really change it, not just add dots, are you able to change your existing one or do you cancel it and start over? I thought I would ask first so I skip the step of screwing up 6 times first! LOL-- THanks!!!
Are you meaning a whole brand new email?? If ya are, I never cancelled my others, I am now up to 4. :rotfl: I don't guess it would matter to much. Someone may pipe in with a better answer, but I am guessing that it would be up to you! I just got a new one today. :) And I did not cancel my other ones. Hope this helps!!
Just make a new one you never know when you will get an important message on an old e-mail address, thats why even i if have not used an e-mail for a while i have them all pulled or forwarded to an address that is checked often!
But simple answer is if you need/want a new one just make one!
all of my spam emails, just ones i use straight for spam i close that account about ever 3 months and open new ones. if they are "real" email account, they never get closed
Ok - so how do you "close" a gmail account?
TIA!

- Click Settings at the top of any Gmail page.
- Open the Accounts tab.
- Click Google Account settings.
- Click Edit next to My services on the right side.
- Click Delete Gmail Service.
Just make sure you wait a good long time b/t the time you last used it before you cancel. If things start bouncing back undeliverable soon after you gave the email address it may appear that you provided false/fraud info.
