I don't want to hijack this thread but is there a way to determine an old SETI@Home email account? Like the OP, I know the original email address, but have no access to it (private redirection company went out of business) and the normal range of passwords I used at that point are not working. When trying to claim the account, I get: This e-mail address (stevenu@x) belongs to an active BOINC account, so we can't transfer its credit to your account. The Classic account was attached to a BOINC account, possibly with a different email address. You might try sending any email address that you do have access to the lost password email to see if you can find the old account (and it is not the account that you are posting with as a Classic account leaves marks on your account page). If the domain is available, you could buy it for a year (for probably < $20) and arrange to receive the one email, and then cancel the account... BOINC WIKI |

I found the secirity key email for my old account and again have control of the original BOINC account. Is there any way to merge this account into that one since the old one is from 1999 and I would like to keep it? Since I have only started yesterday with the new account, is there a way to cancel this new account? |

This is the old account. I would like to use the email address from the other account for this one, but would need to cancel the newer account first. |

There is no way to merge or cancel BOINC accounts. If you'd like, on the newer account you can change all the information to gibberish and continue using the older account from 1999. |

The new account does not have that much credit in it. If you have not done so, you should detach all computers from the new account and attach them to the old account. BOINC WIKI |

Did you try the same suggestions in this thread to recover your old account? |
