Change my gmail address without creating new account

You can change your Gmail address without creating a new account, but it's a bit of a process. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through it:

Important: Before you start, make sure you have access to your current Gmail account and that you're not using any third-party apps or services that rely on your current email address.

Step 1: Create a new Gmail address

  1. Go to the Gmail sign-up page and click on "Create account."
  2. Fill out the required information, including your name, password, and recovery email address (if you want to add one).
  3. Choose a new email address that you'd like to use as your new Gmail address. Make sure it's available by checking the availability of the address.
  4. Click "Next" and follow the prompts to complete the sign-up process.

Step 2: Set up your new email address

  1. Once you've created your new Gmail address, go to the Gmail settings page by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right corner of your Gmail inbox and selecting "See all settings."
  2. Scroll down to the "Accounts and Import" tab and click on "Add a POP3 mail account."
  3. Enter your new Gmail address and password, and click "Add account."
  4. Follow the prompts to set up your new email address, including setting up your account name, password, and other settings.

Step 3: Forward your old email address to your new email address

  1. Go back to the Gmail settings page and scroll down to the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.
  2. Click on "Add a forwarding address" and enter your new Gmail address.
  3. Click "Next" and then "Add" to add the forwarding address.
  4. You'll receive a verification email at your old email address. Click on the verification link to confirm the forwarding address.

Step 4: Update your email address in your account settings

  1. Go to the Gmail settings page and scroll down to the "Accounts and Import" tab.
  2. Click on "Edit info" next to your old email address.
  3. Update your email address to your new Gmail address, and click "Save changes."

Step 5: Update your email address in any third-party apps or services

  1. Log in to any third-party apps or services that use your old email address, such as social media accounts, online banking, or email clients.
  2. Update your email address to your new Gmail address, and follow the prompts to confirm the change.

That's it! Your Gmail address should now be changed to your new email address. Remember to update any third-party apps or services that use your old email address to ensure a smooth transition.
