Gmail Gets a Fresh Start: Change Your Email Address (Once a Year)
Google is rolling out in the US a new option to change your Gmail address (they call it your 'account username') with a limit of once per year. To switch, go to Personal info > Email in your Google Account (or Gmail Settings > Manage Your Google Account on mobile). Your old emails will continue to arrive at the old address, and no data is lost during the transition. This can help users who want to fix a deadname or adopt a more professional email. If you’d rather avoid Google altogether, Proton Mail is highlighted as a privacy-focused alternative that can import data from Google.
