====== Changing Your Email Address ======


If you'd like to change your email address information from the one you originally signed up with, you'll need to have it change in two different areas:

  * Your billing information
  * Your account under Virtualmin


===== Billing =====


To change your email for billing/account management purposes, [[https://help.joyent.com/index.php?pg=request|submit a ticket]], let us know what the new address is, and we'll change it for you.

<note important>Make sure this is a current and active address as this is where billing receipts or important communications are sent. Also, make sure that you check your Spam/Junk folder for any emails from us that may have been accidentally flagged as spam.</note>


===== Virtualmin =====

Virtualmin keeps your main account owner email addresses stored and uses it for various purposes, e.g.:

  * To let you [[retrieve-password|retrieve a lost password]]
  * To [[resend-welcome|re-send the welcome email]] when you request it
  * To pre-fill the email address when installing a script on your domain(s)

It is therefore good practise to keep your current email stored in Virtualmin at all times. to update your email address in Virtualmin, do the following:

  - Sign in to Virtualmin (see [[Logins]]).
  - Select your primary domain from the drop-down in the left-hand navigation, if it isn't already selected (your primary domain should be already selected when you first log into Virtualmin).
  - Click **Edit Virtual Server**.
  - Click **Configurable settings**.
  - Change the value of the //Contact email// field to reflect your new email address (you may need to select the radio button to right of //Administrator's mailbox// to do this).
  - Click **Save Virtual Server**.
