Google opens option to change Gmail address, with old one kept as alias
Google is gradually rolling out a feature that lets you change your @gmail.com address; the old address becomes an alias, so emails go to both addresses and your data stays intact, and you can switch back later. The new address can’t be deleted, and only a limited number of new aliases can be created per year (12-month limit). Access the option at myaccount.google.com/google-account-email, noting it may not be available for all accounts yet.
