Is it possible to change email address here?
-
@josephj11 There is an email address specified in your forum profile; if you're worried about where forum notifications are sent try that one.

@DoctorG I'm confused. I just followed that link and it took me to my profile (not theirs), but all it let me change is my recovery email. I need to change my primary email and I don't want to lose many years of history by creating a new account.
Changing the primary e-mail (Vivaldi username) is not possible. The only e-mail address related to your profile, that can be changed, is the recovery/notification e-mail.
Otherwise, you would have to create a new account, then wait until its Reputation level is high enough to unlock Webmail access.
Note that once a Vivaldi account is closed, its username cannot be reused again.

@edwardp Thanks for the answer. Not what I wanted to hear. However, I just got notified of another post delivered to my new email address, so even if I retire the old email, things may still work.

Hi, I have 3 Vivaldi accounts but I use my oldest for the forum, 2 for mail and all 3 for sync.
So as you mention, just let the old one running. -
@josephj11 If it isn't clear yet, most replies are presuming you mean changing your address for Vivaldi (web)mail, which as @edwardp says is tied to your username. As you didn't post in the webmail forum, I personally presumed you meant the address used for forum notifications.

@sgunhouse You're right. I don't use Vivaldi mail because I use Thunderbird and because my old email has very flakey IMAP support that won't work with it.

@mapesphill welcome to the forum! Your answer to this thread is in many ways surprising, as it has little to do with what the thread is about.
Thunderbird is a very solid application to manage emails. There are many reviews about Thunderbird on the internet, no need to add one and certainly not in this unrelated thread.
This community is about Vivaldi, which with its built in email client stands in competition to the Thunderbird project. Vivaldi is all about choice, so try both clients and choose the one you prefer. If you have questions about the Vivaldi mail client, feel free to use this forum (please always search for existing relevant topics first that may already answer your question)
