The only way to "change" it is to make a new account :> There's really no reason to alter it though - the only thing it's used for is to send you a "forgotten password." So save your password away somewhere just in case (or multiple places).

I thought Sesmi was referring to his in-game account.

The email address is just a substitute for a username and even if the email account you created your character on expires, you will still be able to play PS. Another use for that email address is to alow the PS team to send you notifications. But... so far I've only recieved one, regarding the last character wipe we had. And in that case... trust me, you'll find out about the news before you get your email ;)

I've always wondered about that.  The email I am using is from a host that doesn't even exist anymore.  So, needless to say, that account is no longer valid.  Its no big deal of course, but still, it would be nice to change that if possible.

I dont really see how it matters, the only time the email adress is used as far as i can remember is for the validation email... and if you cant recieve that you wouldnt be playing now :p

other than that the email adress is just a unique acount name, the only other time ive seen the email used was by talad emailing gms.
<Rux> i wish i could say that narrows it down, but the internet is one freaky place

If you don't have a migrated character from MB, you can just make another account after the next wipe using another email addres.
