Change Username or Email Address

You can change the email at http://appleid.apple.com - click on 'Manage your account'. You can't change the username because it defines the account, nor the name which appears in your posts.

Seems like changing my email will also change my apple-ID 😮

I would just like to have my forum-Email sent to another Email-Adress...

Hello, Roger Wilmut1. I hope you're still out here in "discussions-land", listening, as you seem to be in the know. I'd very much like to change the email address associated with the appleid. I take it from your description that the "appleid" would then become, pretty much, a symbolic string, looking like an email address but never being used as a target for emailing. The email address stored for that appleid, would be the one receiving emailings, right?

I hope my question is clear.

The thing being, I'm getting rid of the email address whose name is the appleid, but I don't wish to incur the penalty of having to repurchase all my danged apps (at considerable expense, of course).

Let me take this one for our good pal Roger...

Thank you very much, ChitlinsCC! I have of course marked your response as helpful and bookmarked the linked page. In my case (stoopidity) I had already established a separate appleid under the target email address. If Apple will (which I suspect they won't) let me trash the erroneous surplus appleid, then all could be well. But in my case, I doubt there will be a smooth and balmy solution. You may appropriately grin.

(As per getting rid of the existing extraneous appleid, I suspect Apple may be like Google in saying, "Okay, but that name may never be used again foever and ever world without end. And our memory lasts forever.")

I'll hope, but again, thank you very much.
