Gmail allows users to change email addresses

Google is rolling out a new feature allowing US-based Gmail users to change their email address username without creating a new account. This long-awaited update means users can update outdated or embarrassing handles chosen years ago, while retaining all their existing data and the ability to receive mail sent to their old address. The change can only be made once every 12 months and may require users to log out and back into certain Google products like Chromebooks. This move addresses a common user request and simplifies account management for millions.
