your email address (= the domain name).
Preamble
- You can also follow this procedure if the purpose is to have any new email addresses while keeping the history of your emails on Mail (since the email address will continue to exist, e.g. info@premier-domaine.xyz will become info@nouveau-domaine.xyz without modification of its content).
- Indeed, it is not possible to simply change the spelling of the domain name concerned; it is therefore necessary to replace the current domain name associated with your email addresses with another domain name.
- To simply add an additional domain name, take note of this other guide.
- Instead, change the part of your email address that comes before the arobase
@
