[โ] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 33 points 2 years ago (2 children) You're pretty much asking "why can't I change my email" You can make a new one if you want. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl 8 points 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [โ] IHawkMike@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago And what's wrong with asking that? Plenty of email platforms let you change your primary SMTP address and/or add/remove aliases. It's a legitimate question. And it could be that the lack of ability to change it has a perfectly logical answer. It still wouldn't invalidate the question. permalink fedilink source parent
