Gmail might finally let you switch to a new address without starting over
Gmail could soon solve one of its biggest limitations by allowing users to choose a new address without starting over.
Google is testing out a new feature that lets users change their Gmail username without creating a new account. The update keeps all data, services and subscriptions intact while allowing a fresh @gmail.
This new option to change a Gmail address doesn’t appear to be live yet, so it’s possible that Google published this updated support page too early. As you may know, Microsoft’s Outlook.com email service lets users easily add email aliases and change their primary email address, so it would be nice to see Gmail add a bit of that flexibility.
