Google, new Gmail function: here’s what it is

How competitors work

Competing services such as Microsoft Outlook, observes the US newspaper, have long made it possible to easily change the main address by adding an ‘alias’. Google only allows the change for accounts that end in @gmail.com, and the new address must also end in @gmail.com. While users can reuse their old Google Account email address at any time, once the change is made, it will not be possible to register another email address for the same account for the next 12 months.

How it works now waiting for the changes

For now, CNBC reminds us, “users who want a new Gmail address must create a new account and manually transfer their data through a complicated and risky process, which can compromise integrations with third-party applications.”
