How to replace an old e-mail address with a new?

How do i get rid of an email address i dont want anymore or replace my existing one?

  • Answer:

    Most e-mailing services offer an automatic deactivation procedure once they notice you haven't been using your e-mail. They will close your account for you, but in the event that you have to go back into it, they offer a safety standard where you can safely log back on and retrieve some things. But, if you're unsure and you still want to get rid of it, I'm sure you can wander around the service's site (maybe "My Account settings", "FAQ", or "Help") and they'll direct you on how to close the account. Otherwise, it's generally okay to just abandon it. Then you can replace it by getting a brand new one at any of the e-mail sites that appeal to you!

Just don't use it if you don't want it anymore... it should be free right? Inform all your contacts of your new address and all should be well.
