- Google now allows U.S. users to change their Google Account email address for Gmail, Calendar, Photos, and Drive, with other countries' availability unspecified.
- The change lets users switch to any available @gmail.com address, with the old one becoming an alias, preserving ownership, sign-in, and email functionality for both.
- Users can change their email once per year, up to three times total, with all account data and history preserved, and can revert to the old address if desired.
- This feature is useful for longtime users who want to update casual or unprofessional email addresses from their youth to more fitting adult or professional ones.
- Previously, only email aliases could be set up in Gmail; now, the main account email address can be entirely changed, as detailed in a Google support document.
