I can get to my profile and see where I can change my password. But don't see a way to change my e-mail address.

George,

Jeremy's second "answer" is :

"We haven't built a migration feature yet because there have been very few requests for email changes, although eventually it's inevitable. The way to do it is to make a new user in my.atlassian.com. If you want to have your karma, badges, answers moved to this new user, email us at answers@atlassian.comand we'll migrate it all."

or you could also see https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/ANSWERS-88

Hope this helps.

Haizelyn,

Thanks for the link.

I read Jeremy's "answer" which points to https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/ANSWERS-922which is said to be "Closed" not released. But there is a comment that says it is fixed in (link) but the link is a dead-end. (I have reproduced it below)

So the bottom line is I can't change my e-mail address. I have to create a new account and loose the links to stuff tied to my present account.

Bummer.

Please, if I have misunderstood something, let me know.
