Spore and email address

My grandson comes to visit me so that he can play Spore online as he does not have broadband at home.
I don't understand Spore, I don't like it and it sometimes mucks up my computer so what I did was to get a second hard drive and install Windows and Spore and whatever else my grandson wanted installing.
Now when he comes to visit to play Spore he presses F8 and chooses which hard drive to boot from.
No more Spore taking over MY installation.
He also needed an email address so I gave him one of my aliases on Blueyonder, this is what he signs on with to play Spore online.
Also the computer remembers the settings so it is automatic.
However whenever any email is sent to him I receive it because it is one of my aliases.
It has also become a spam magnet.
So I signed him up to a google email address but I cannot figure out how to change all the details so that he can sign on using the new google email address.
The minute I can figure that out goodbye Blueyonder alias goodbye spam.
My grandson probably knows but he does not seem all that keen for it to happen, his outlook is, it works why change it.
So any Spore players out there who can help or point me in the correct direction?

Why don't you delete the alias on your mailbox, add a new mailbox with virgin media and re-add your grandson's email address to it. You get no more spam and he remains happy.Estate Agent, Web Designer & All Round Geek!0
