Notify senders of new email address

A great question!

When you change your email address, it's essential to notify the senders of your new email address to ensure they can continue to reach you. Here are some ways to do so:

  1. Update your email signature: Add your new email address to your email signature, so it appears at the bottom of every email you send. This way, anyone who receives an email from you will see your new address.
  2. Notify frequent senders: Reach out to your most frequent correspondents, such as colleagues, friends, and family members, and let them know about your new email address. You can do this via email, phone, or in-person.
  3. Update your online profiles: Make sure to update your email address on your social media profiles, online accounts, and other platforms where you have an account.
  4. Use a forwarding service: Set up a forwarding service, like Google's Forwarding and Filtering tool or Microsoft's Forwarding feature, to automatically forward emails from your old address to your new one. This way, you won't miss any important emails.
  5. Create a "new email address" announcement: Write a brief announcement explaining your new email address and send it to your contacts. You can also include a link to your new email address or a brief instruction on how to update their contact information.
  6. Use a mass email notification tool: If you have a large number of contacts, consider using a mass email notification tool like Mailchimp or Constant Contact to send a broadcast email announcing your new email address.
  7. Update your email client: Make sure to update your email client (e.g., Outlook, Gmail, or Apple Mail) with your new email address to ensure you can receive emails at your new address.

Remember to also update any automated systems, such as:

By following these steps, you'll ensure a smooth transition to your new email address and minimize the risk of missing important emails or notifications.
