Unfortunately, the name of your mailbox on Mai. Ru, which you selected once when registering your account, cannot be changed. But if you are completely no longer satisfied with the previous name, you can register a new e-mail, and simply delete your old mailbox or continue to use it as an alternative mail, while setting up automatic forwarding of incoming letters from the old address to the new one.
Instructions
Step 1
Register on Mail. Ru a new mailbox with a name that suits you, on any of the available domains of this mail service: @ mail.ru, @ list.ru, @ bk.ru, @ inbox.ru. The registration procedure is standard - you will need to indicate your first and last name, city of residence, date of birth, come up with a password and a security question to restore it, or link a new account to your mobile phone number.
Step 2
Transfer contacts from your old mailbox to your new one manually or automatically using the export function. To do this, enter your old e-mail, go to the address book - the "Addresses" link in the header of the mailbox window - and click on the "Export" button. Select the export format from the drop-down list: "mailbox mail.ru, inbox.ru, list.ru, bk.ru". Then click on the "Export" button - the list of your contacts will be automatically saved to a file called adressbook.csv. Go to the address book of your new mailbox and click on the "Import" button. Specify the system path to the adressbook.csv file and click on the "Import" button - all your contacts will be saved.
Step 3
Do not forget that if you delete your old mailbox, your accounts in all Mail. Ru projects will also disappear. If you do not want to re-create the "World", fill out the form in "Dating", transfer posts to a new blog, etc., leave your old e-mail valid. All messages that will come to your old mail, you can automatically redirect to the new address. To do this, in the Mail. Ru mail settings, there is a special function - "Forwarding".
Step 4
Log into your old mail to set the parameters for forwarding incoming mail. Click on the "More" link located in the header of your mailbox. In the list that opens, select the "Settings" link, and in the list that appears, select the "Forwarding" section. Enter your new mailing address in the provided field and enter the password for the current mailbox to save the settings.
Step 5
Please note that the use of filters will help you customize the forwarding parameters in more detail: you can select only the letters you need by sender addresses and by subject, and even set different autoresponders for certain groups of correspondents. So, for example, you can send a polite invitation to "necessary" correspondents in response to write to your new e-mail, and to unwanted correspondents in response to their letters - a stingy system notification "There is no such address". The "Filters" section https://e.mail.ru/cgi-bin/filters, like "Forwarding", is located in the list of mail settings. For detailed information about installing and filtering settings, see the Mail. Ru help system.
Step 6
Delete your old mailbox if you still decide that you no longer need it. To do this, go to the page https://e.mail.ru/cgi-bin/delete, indicate the reason for deleting your account in the designated field of the form and do not forget to enter the current password for this mail. Please note that the process of removing content from the projects "[email protected]", "[email protected]" and others may take up to 5 days.
