How to change google mail email address

Changing your Google Mail (Gmail) email address is a bit more involved than changing your username on other email services, but it's still possible. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

Important: Before you start, please note that changing your Gmail address will affect all your existing contacts, labels, and filters. You'll need to update your email address with all your contacts and services that use your current Gmail address.

1. Sign in to your Gmail account.
2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the page.
3. Select "See all settings" from the dropdown menu.
4. Scroll down to the "Accounts and Import" tab.
5. Click on "Change address" next to "Send mail as."
6. Enter your new email address and click "Next."
7. Follow the prompts to verify your new email address.

Method 2: Change your Gmail address using the Google Account settings

1. Sign in to your Google Account.
2. Click on the "Data & personalization" tab.
3. Scroll down to the "Account preferences" section.
4. Click on "Edit" next to "Contact information."
5. Enter your new email address and click "Save."
6. Follow the prompts to verify your new email address.

What happens after you change your Gmail address:

• Your new email address will be used for all new emails sent to your old address.
• Your old email address will be marked as "inactive" and will no longer receive new emails.
• Your contacts will need to update their contact information to use your new email address.
• Any email addresses that you've set up as "Send mail as" will need to be updated to use your new email address.

Tips and considerations:

• Before changing your Gmail address, make sure you have a backup of your important emails and contacts.
• If you have multiple Google services linked to your Gmail account (e.g., Google Drive, Google Photos), you may need to update those services to use your new email address.
• Changing your Gmail address may affect your ability to use certain features or services that rely on your old email address.
