Message 44949 - Posted: 19 Jul 2012, 15:14:59 UTC

The email address attached to my BOINC account is about to become obsolete. I have spent over an hour searching for something that tells me how to change to a new address but cannot find it. The page that offers the option to get live help by Skype or email says nothing about email, nor is there a contact link visible to me on any of my pages. This is something that should be so bleeping obvious to offer that I think the programmers must be half asleep.

I am using version 6.12.34, but that should have no bearing on my question. I might upgrade to a newer version, but only if I get a response that answers this. Otherwise, I will peobably uninstall BOINC and forget the whole thing.

The project(s) that you're attached to->Your Account->email address, fill in the new email address plus the password for that project and click "Change email address".

e.g. http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/edit_email_form.php

This does need to be done at all the projects you have an account at. It's the projects that need the email address for the unique identifier.
