Delete primary email address

How do I delete my primary email address and add a new one??

[+Ry Dawg]

You have to go to edit where your email is. Add the new one. Go and verify the new one. Return to edit screen. Click "make primary" next to new one. Then you can delete your current one.

I want to use an email address that already exists, a Yahoo address, but it says that email already exists and I can't go any further. I do not want to create another address??

I'm confused.

 

Are you trying to use a Yahoo email address that isn't yours?

[+we-spy]

No, I have a yahoo address I want to use instead of the Hotmail account I created for Caching. So seeing the Hotmail is my Primary address and the Yahoo account already exists, it will not let me use the Yahoo address ????

This is very confusing.

 

Do you have another Geocaching account? Maybe an old name or a child's account that uses that yahoo email? If so then that is why you can't change to that email. Or is yahoo saying that email is already taken and you cannot establish an account with your desired name there?

 

Details - What are the steps you are using and at what point in the process are you getting this message?

It would be helpful to know what you mean by "the Yahoo account already exists." Is this an existing Yahoo e-mail account that you've never used on the geocaching Web site, or is it an e-mail account already attached to a geocaching account?
