<h2>How do I change my email address?</h2> <p>Twitter uses your email address to let you know about changes to your account. Change your email address in your <a href="http://twitter.com/account/settings">account settings page.</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <div id="hxhi" style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://docs.google.com/a/twitter.com/File?id=ddsn57cs_63gwn49rhg_b" border="0" width="455" height="278" /><br /><br />When you have entered your new email address in the '<strong>Email</strong>' field, click '<strong>Save</strong>.'<br /><br /> <div id="d2x8" style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://docs.google.com/a/twitter.com/File?id=ddsn57cs_64c5g74w79_b" style="width: 490px; height: 308px;" border="0" /><br /><br />A dialog box will then appear asking you to confirm your Twitter password.&nbsp; Enter your password in the box and click the '<strong>Save changes</strong>' button.&nbsp; After you do so, a yellow box will appear above the area where you typed your email field, notifying you that a confirmation email has been sent to the new address you have chosen.&nbsp; If you do not click the link in the confirmation email, the changes you made to your email will not be saved - in other words, emails sent to you by Twitter will continue to go to your original email address.<br /><br /> <div id="vf0q" style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://docs.google.com/a/twitter.com/File?id=ddsn57cs_65crtc3mnf_b" border="0" width="484" height="244" /></div> </div> </div> <p>Twitter never shares your email address with third parties.&nbsp; Friends using the contact import feature to find email contacts may locate your profile if you are one of their contacts, but your email address will never be revealed.
