  After having yahoo email for 9 years, I am done with it, tired of the annoying problems I’ve encountered in the past 9 months – that don’t seem to get solved ever.

  I am switching to gmail, and will shutdown my yahoo account completely in one week

  I want to make sure I change my email info with WordPress so that I get notifications of new posts, subscriptions etc etc in the new gmail account. Is there a SINGLE place to change it all?

  thanks, I want to make sure I do this correctly…

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Apologies are in order…. just noticed the same question posted a while ago.

  CHanged made in the single spot needed, Personal Settings.

  Sorry…. will be more attentive next time! ;-)

  Bringing this to the top again…

  even though I changed my email yesterday, and the change is there when I go to my settings, today i got an email notification of a pingback in my old email account AND the new one too

  is this expected? when I shutdown my yahoo account and the email bounces back, will affect my interactions with WordPress?

  is there a way to permanently remove that address from my files?

  Did you also make the change at Settings -> General in your blog’s Dashboard?

  Hummmmm…. went there to double check, it says I have a “pending request” for email change….. ?????

  Maybe it will take a while?

  It might, but there’s no harm in saving the change again. It should re-send the confirmation email.

  THanks, I finally got an email to confirm the change of address, and did so.

  I hope from now on it will be fixed.

  Thanks again…
