    It is possible and even good to change your email. I wrote an email service called Port87, and changed my email twice during the process. It really sucks how much work it is, but it’s worth it. Every email service that’s been around for decades just sucks. They survive on the fact that it’s hard to change your email.

      Yeah the hardest part is going around and updating your address with sites you use.

      Every time I’ve done it, I’ve also put an auto forward on my old address, and a label or other alert for anything that comes through from the old so I can go update it or block that address from auto forwarding.
