You must delete the present account and create a new one. Email addresses cannot be change.

PLease read and fully understand before continuing. You may have other services dependanat on your gmail, so you had better make certain all external email are changed, and DO NOT point to the gmail you are deleting!

Sir Mark,

From what I gather, you have become a Gmail expert who knows all the ins and outs.

You are too modest. Modesty is the kind of pride that hurts others the least.
