I've had the same GMail address since I started using Gmail in the mid 2000s.

Transferring everything over is going to be a pain.

There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".

why don't you just set up everything sent to your old email to be auto-forwarded to the new one.

Eh, I'm ok with what it was overall, but I wanted to have my name in the username instead. By the time I made my gmail account, the first initial last name format was already taken, so I settled on something else entirely.

Never went back and tried to make another one until today.

That's one of the things I'm doing, but I want to change sign in details on other sites, too.

I got my gmail address from a Gamefaqs user, back when it was invite only, and right before "Gmail" became a banned word on here. I'd hate to try and transfer everything over to a new account.

im pretty sure you can just setup your old address to forward everything to your new one, so you don't have to correct your email everywhere.

edit: someone beat me to it.

I did it backwards and created a new email with my name, set up so that it sends everything to my old account. It's full swag to be able to give an email out without having to spell it out
