  Hi,

  I had changed my username account email to a new one in my wordpress.com blog. Now I’m trying to change it back to the old one, but it is saying email account already exists. Turns out there is a separate wordpress account now with my old email address and it won’t allow me to switch to the old one. How can the system be so ridiculous ? Please help!

  Hi there,

  Once you change your username you will not be able to change it back and the old name will not be available for you or anyone to use.

  I’m asking about account email address, not username.
  Thanks.

  Sorry – misread there.

  What is the email you want to change your account back to? I can look and make sure that it is not connected to another account. Thanks!
