email address

jerlinux · Post by **jerlinux** » Fri Mar 26, 2010 7:53 am

I have changed my email address under the profile tab about 12 times and it still appears that the mail is going to my old box. Is there anyway to tell what address if really picking up the mail without killing an account in evolution and waiting a day or so?

Thanks

Delivered-To header? (Or some other headers...)

It should be obvious when viewing full headers.

Have you got any mail aliases in force that could be affecting which
user gets the mail?

They should be in /etc/aliases. If you change the alias list, you MUST
run newaliases to rebuild the main aliases database from /etc/aliases.

The full header shows that the mail is still coming into wow instead of gmail.
So now my question becomes how do I change my email address?

Do I have to kill the wow account and reregister under gmail?

This may be the fastest way to change addresses.

I cant even kill the old wow account and register with gmail because wine hq reports that the new gmail address is already being used.

Hard to believe that I picked the same email address as another person.
