I made this email specifically reserved for "important" stuff but it doesn't really look professional because I have a bunch of numbers in it and now I want to take them out

what do I DO?!

Is this a serious question? Just make a new one. I don't know if you know this but you're allowed to have more than one email

Make a new email address then gradually transition your mail to the new address. And you're hardly alone, countless people start with a less professional email address before eventually moving to some variation on their name.

Granted, having numbers isn't necessarily terrible because if you signed up for a service late, odds are you can't get just your name. It really depends on the numbers (BobWillikers6969, for instance, isn't a professional choice) and the quantity (ie, a ten-digit combination is a bit more)

What do you mean by that? You're just getting a new email address, right?

That's true for most people. Especially if you have a common name.

No? You just forward them to the new inbox and start using the new email for everything new you sign up for. When you start logging in to things if you remember you can just change the email then. It's really not a big deal. Eventually things will stop getting sent to the old email.

Wouldn't changing an email address still be a problem in terms of your contacts having the wrong email, accounts tied to it not working, etc.? If anything it would be even more of a problem than making a new one since you wouldn't have the old name around to set up for auto-forwarding

This. Don't stress about changing everything immediately. Just change it when you log on next if you remember. Or don't, if you don't want to. Because you are allowed to have more than one email address. Some people like to use one email for professional stuff, and the other for everything else. Like facebook/twitter/other social media, and all their streaming sites, and all that stuff.

The funniest part about this is the fact that he probably has two dozen email accounts left over from all the accounts he had that got banned from posting those weird, creepy cartoon girl pictures.

Without deleting your current one and having to forward everything, create an alias under options, and then make the alias the main.
