Are you changing your email?

lburkey21 · August 2010

For those of you who use your last name (maiden) for your personal email address, are you keeping that email address or will you be creating a new one with your new married name?

I haven't decided yet. It may be too much work for me!

I actually made a new email address a good two weeks before getting married. I was so excited to get a new email! However, a month after getting married, it still is just sitting there unused because I haven't been motivated yet to go through the whole process. Though, I got a new work email!

Hahaha, lisam this is exactly what I did! I need to get motivated and start switching things over to the new address.

For some reason I've been in lazy-land lately.

I changed mine... I go by my middle name as it is, so having my old maiden name be in my e-mail address (esp if I ever used if tor work-related purposes) would only further the ever-present confusion process for people. Plus I was just excited!

I thought I would need a new email address last year when I graduated, so I made one then, and some people still use my old email, which I still have, since I now work at the university.

I doubt I'll change it any time soon. It's too much of a hassle to get those stubborn people to change it in their address books.

This is what I'm thinking of doing. I just haven't gotten it together to actual do. Maybe tonight.

Yup and this is what I did! I actually have everything from the new e-mail forwarded to the old as well, because I have a Droid which is linked with your g-mail account. Unfortunately you can't change your e-mail in your Droid after the initial set-up, so I probably should have made my new e-mail with my new name back in March when I got the phone, but I thought 4 months was too early. But this way I can still read stuff on my Droid right away from my new e-mail... Forwarding is a wonderful thing

I did. I made a new one and I use it for some things...

Facebook updates still goes to my maiden name email. And a lot of "junk" emails go there...I'm slowly switching, but I'm not trying that hard lol.

kenright16 · August 2010

I changed mine right away, and just sent people an e-mail asking them to update their address books. I was ready for a new one - I was getting way too much junk mail.

My work e-mail changed, too...this was more difficult, because I know my clients are having a hard time remembering my new name. My old work e-mail will stay active indefinitely, so at least I won't miss anything.

I'm getting a Droid at the end of next month! I guess this gives me a reason to set up that new email account sooner rather than later.

What Droid do you have? DH and I are both going to get the Incredible I think. His upgrade is available now so I might order it for him this week. We'll see how he likes it.

I had my work email changed right away on my first day back, but I'm still working on making a new one up for my personal email. Since I only use my maiden names 1st letter I might not change my personal one.

Maybe DH and I will just make one together ... but for now I have my work email, school email & personal email so between all 3 of them someone can correctly get a hold of me. Let's hope at least! lol

MIL asked me this the other day. Honestly, I hadn't thought about it much. I probably will at some point when I feel up to it, but everything I do is linked to this email. All of my accounts, student loans, contacts know this email. I'll get a new one eventually, but for now I'll be keeping this one.

I changed mine when we got back from our honeymoon. I did as Jacqui did, and just sent out an e-mail to everyone in my contacts list, informing them of the change, and to update their address books. So far, everyone that has emailed me has switched, but I always go back and check the old account too.
