Change a mailbox address

Primail does not currently sign devices into a Primail Cloud identity. Settings → Primail Account → Change email is not a control. There is no confirmation-code transfer of a sync identity and no hashed-email routing table you can update.

To stop using one address and use another:

  1. Add the new account.
  2. Move or finish any local drafts you still need (they will not follow a removal).
  3. Remove the old account.

Signatures, display name, and role on the new account start fresh on this device.

To change only the display name on an existing mailbox: Settings → Accounts → the account → Sender’s name, or primail account settings-update ACCOUNT_ID --display-name "…".

To rotate the provider password, change it at the host, then use the auth-failure banner or primail account password-update ACCOUNT_ID. See Credentials & Keychain.

There is no Primail recovery-link address and no 24-hour cooldown banner. Provider-account recovery is whatever Google, Microsoft, iCloud, or your host documents.
