Can you change your email address on gmail
You cannot change your existing email address once you create your email account. But you can create a new one and connect them both.
As mentioned in previous section, you can set up another email account in Gmail's setting to received and send messages from that account - so once you are done with your old email, you can add it to "Check mail from other accounts:" section so you can still receive your email until everyone you know updates their contacts! If you want to keep replying from the old email too you can add it to "Send email as:" section.
If you want to keep your message history from the old email account and still receive new emails but don't want to clutter your current Inbox, you can also use a mail app to set up both email accounts and check the mails separately. Such email app can be eM Client where you can easily check emails in a global Inbox or check each account separately. You can try out eM Client for free below:
