Need to change email!

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Need to change email!

Post by Ayy_ayana »

I’ve gone and opened a can of worms… :cry:

Apple offers a privacy and security feature that will use a secondary, made up email to protect my original email address from being shared by scammers.

Well, of course I’ve gone through the process and feel secure of this site, but have now come across a number of issues that may jeopardize my account.

It boils down to needing to be able to change the email from a duplicate account created when clicking on a verification link that was already sent. I see no option to do that on the duplicate account, and rather than risking my proper email address from being banned forever, I went ahead and deactivated the account instead of deleting it. My major concern is any red flag that may come up later on, even though you would be able to verify the timing and details I am providing.

I would greatly appreciate all direction as I would hate to miss the opportunity to be able to contribute to this community. Might there be a timeframe or an account age I would need to reach to be able to make those modifications?

It sounds like you are saying you created two accounts at OnlineBookClub, which is strictly against the rules.

yes, accidentally, as I used an alias email at first while verifying security of this website. i'd be delighted to be transparent and address this forwardly.

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out. I'm not sure I understand you correctly. Did you create an account using the alias email address and you now want to change the email address? Or did you create an account with both the alias email address and the real email address, meaning you now have two accounts?

Thank you.
Melissa.

Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen
