Note:
- The domain part of your email address (after the "@" symbol) cannot be changed through this process.
- Renaming your email address does not create a new account; it modifies the existing one.
- All existing emails and settings will be preserved after renaming.
- You may need to reconfigure your email clients with the new email address.
Tips:
- Choose a professional and easy-to-remember username for your email address.
- Avoid using special characters or spaces in your email username.
- Consider setting up an email forwarding rule from your old address to the new one for a transition period.
- Inform your contacts about your new email address to ensure you don't miss important communications.
