Google Email

I earlier created a new second email account in Googlemail now may user name has changed to the new address.


How can I change it back to the previous user name?

Sign out of Gmail with the new address, then sign in again with the old one.

If you want to use two different Google accounts simultaneously you'll need to use different browsers or Private/Incognito mode in one window.

Thank you when I am in settings it only shows the new address even though I am still receiving mail to the first address - both must be there but how can I see them both?


In settings - Account it only quotes the new address


For some unknown reason it said my user name is now changed to the new address.


Any ideas why and how to correct it?

You can sign in to more than one gmail account at the same time.

Click the coloured circle with your initial in it in the top right of the screen, then Add Account.

When I click on the coloured circle and click on original account it says incorrect password

If you click on "Add Account" it should ask you for the email address to add, so you should enter the old address and then the password for the old address when prompted. It will then switch you to that account and you should be able to switch between the new and the old account.

ok, I have now done as suggested above and logged out of the new email account and logged in and recovered old account.


Can someone please tell me how I delete the new account without deleting the entire thing?


IE so I am just left with the old account

Strangely enough that was on of the top results when using Google to search for "Delete Google Account". Who would have thought that a simple search would have got the answer so easily?

But I do not want to delete the entire account just the new second address

If you mean just to remove it from the list just click on the account in the dropdown and then click "remove".
