How to Change Your Email Name and Email Address [Step-by-Step Guide]

Looking to change your email name or email address?

Your email name and address are the first things people see when they get your email, so it better be perfect, right?

But how do you edit your email name and address to fit your email sending needs?
You don’t have to be a chameleon to make it happen.

In this article, I’ll give you a simple walk-through guide on how to change your email name and address.

Here’s a break down of the terms I’ll be using throughout this article:

Email Names vs. Usernames: What’s the Difference?

Most people think email names and email usernames are the same things.
They’re not.

An email name (also known as a sender name) is the name that’s displayed when you send an email. Your email username, however, is your email address.

For example, in the image below, the email name is “John” and the username is “[email protected]”.

How do you find this information?
In most email clients, you’ll have to tap or hover your mouse over your profile picture to access this information.

So how do you change it?
Changing your sender name is fairly simple.
However, you might not always be able to change the email username.

How to Change Your Email Name

Note – I’ll be talking about Gmail here, but the process is the same for different email services like Microsoft Outlook.com, Hotmail, and Yahoo Mail. However, if you’re using Microsoft Exchange accounts, you can contact your administrator for help.

By default, your email name in Gmail and your Google account name are the same.

If you want to change your email name, you can choose to:

How to Change Your Email Name Only

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to edit your sender name.

Note – You can’t change the email name from the Gmail mobile app. You’ll have to do it through your browser.

Step 1
Open your Gmail account by typing in your email ID and password.

Step 2
Go to your account settings by clicking the gear icon in the top right corner of your inbox.
From the drop-down menu that pops up, click Settings.

Step 3
If you’re using a regular Gmail account (that ends in gmail.com), click on the Accounts and Import tab.

If you’re using a G Suite account, click the Accounts tab.

Step 4
Under Send mail as, click edit info against the email name you want to change.

Step 5
Enter the new name or alias you want to display in your emails in the name field.
Select the button next to your new display name and click on Save Changes.

How to Change Your Google Account Name

You can also change your Google account name. Changing your Google account name will also change your Gmail email name automatically.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do this:

Note – You can also update your Google Account name from the Android and iPhone Gmail app.

Step 1
Log in to your Google Account.

Step 2
Click Personal info in the left sidebar.

Step 3
Under Profile, click NAME.

Quick Note – You can also change your password by clicking the PASSWORD option.

Step 4
Click the pencil icon to edit your current name.

Note – If you’re using a G Suite account, you need to contact the admin to change your name.

Step 5
Enter your new name and click the DONE button.

How to Change Your Email Address (Username) in Gmail

Changing your email address can be tricky.

Why?
Gmail usually doesn’t allow you to change your email ID if it ends in gmail.com.

Usually?
While there is a step-by-step method in place, it doesn’t work for every user. Gmail doesn’t specify why, but you can always try it!

But if you have a G Suite account, you may find it easier to change your username. All you have to do is ask the G Suite administrator for help.

However, if you’re still unable to change your username, you’ll have to create a new Gmail account and import the data from your existing account.

Inconvenient, right?
But don’t worry.

I’ll show you Gmail’s method to change your username, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll show you how to import your user data quickly into a new account:

How to Change Your Existing Email Address

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to change your existing email address in Gmail.

Note – this isn’t guaranteed to work for every user.

Step 1
Log in to your Google Account.

Step 2
Click on Personal info in the left sidebar.

Step 3
Under Contact info, click EMAIL.

Quick Note – You can add your phone number to boost your account security by clicking the PHONE option.

Step 4
Click on Google Account email.
If you can’t open this setting, it isn’t possible to change your email address.

However, if you’re able to open this, follow the next step.

Step 5 (If you can click on Google Account email)
Select edit, next to the email address you want to change. Enter the new email address for your account and follow the on-screen instructions.

Note – You will receive a verification email at the new address. To complete the address change, you need to click on the verification link in that email.

Additional Tip: Add Secondary Email Addresses

In addition to your primary email ID, you can add other IDs to your Google Account and use them to sign in.

To do this, click on the Advanced option in the EMAIL section of Personal Info.

You can add secondary email ids like Contact email, Alternative emails, and About Me emails for your Google Account.

Note – Google will send a verification code to the secondary email address to confirm the update.

How to Import Data from an Existing Account to a New Gmail Account

If Gmail doesn’t allow you to change your email address, you’ll have to create a new email account (with the address you want) and import your existing data there.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do that.

I’m transferring data from an old ID – [email protected] to a new account – [email protected].

Step 1
Create a new Gmail account and log in to it.

Step 2
Go to your account settings by clicking the settings icon (the gear icon) in the top right corner of your mailbox.

From the drop-down menu that pops up, click Settings.

Step 3
If you’re using a regular Gmail account (that ends in gmail.com), click the Accounts and Import tab.

If you’re using a G Suite account, click the Accounts tab.

Step 4
Under the Import mail and contacts section, click on Import mail and contacts.

Note – If you’re using a G Suite account and you don’t see the import mail option, you’ll need to contact your administrator.

Step 5
A new browser window will pop up.

In the text box displayed, enter your old address and click the Continue button.

You will now be asked to sign in to your old mail account.
Open a new browser tab and sign in to your old account.

You’ll now be signed in to both your old and new addresses.

Step 6
After signing in to your old account, click Continue.
Another browser window will pop up, asking you for access to your old email account.

Once you grant access, you’ll see a status message if the authentication was successful.

Step 7
Now close this window and go to the previous pop-up window (the one with your new account).

Select the import options for your old mail account.
You can now import contacts, old emails, and forward all new mail (for the next 30 days) from your old account to the new account.

Select the desired options from the menu and click on Start import.

Step 8
After the import is complete, a finished status message will be displayed on the screen.

Step 9
Now refresh your new Gmail account.
You can view the messages from your old mail account under the folder with your old account name.

Note – To stop importing, click stop in the “Import mail and contacts” section.

Conclusion

While it can be tricky to change the email name and Gmail address of your current account, it isn’t impossible.

Just follow the steps I listed above, and you’ll be fine!

How do I change my Google account login email?

I have a Google account where I have to login using a Gmail address which is not my primary contact email. This is problematic because every time someone wants to share a Google doc with me, naturally they will send it to my primary email which I cannot access with my Gmail account.

I want to change my Google account to a non Gmail account email address. How do I do that?

1 Answer 1

Change your username

If you use Gmail with your Google Account, it’s not currently possible to change your Gmail username after you’ve registered unless you want to delete Gmail from your account and use a different, non-Gmail address for your Google Account. You can also create another Google Account with a different Gmail username.

If you don’t use Gmail with your Google Account, you can change your account username to another email address at any time. Your username is the full email address you used to create your account.

To change the email address on your account, just follow these steps:

Once you’ve saved the change, you should receive a verification message at the email address you just entered. To complete the change, you’ll need to click the verification link in this message. You should also receive a message at your old email address confirming that we’ve registered the change to your account. If you don’t receive the verification email, check your spam folders or request a new email.

Note:

Delete Gmail from your Google Account

Please note that by doing so, you’ll lose access to your inbox, and you won’t be able to sign in with your Gmail username any longer. If you want to re-add Gmail to this Google Account in the future, you’ll have to re-use your old Gmail username. Learn how to delete Gmail from your account.

Trending sort

Trending sort is based off of the default sorting method — by highest score — but it boosts votes that have happened recently, helping to surface more up-to-date answers.

It falls back to sorting by highest score if no posts are trending.

Switch to Trending sort

Since this is on the user object, your user will already have to be signed in. Hence it only requires the password.

If someone is looking for updating a user’s email via Firebase Admin, it’s documented over here and can be performed with:

FOR FIREBASE V9 (modular) USERS:

The accepted answer will not apply to you. Instead, you can do this, i.e., import < updateEmail >and use it like any other import. The following code was copy/pasted directly from the fb docs at https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/manage-users

You can do this directly with AngularFire2, you just need to add «currentUser» to your path.

You will also need to reauthenticate the login prior to calling this as Firebase requires a fresh authentication to perform certain account functions such as deleting the account, changing the email or the password.

For the project I just implemented this on, I just included the login as part of the change password/email forms and then called «signInWithEmailAndPassword» just prior to the «updateEmail» call.

To update the password just do the following:
