There doesn't seem to be a way to continue this conversation in the same thread, so it seems I must start a new one to get the final answer.

I understood everything you told me the first time and the second time a year later. But my primary question still remains unanswered. I have two "accounts" both have the same username, PsiberMan, but wish to use my primary email address which came up more than 10 years after starting. You tell me that I cannot merge the two accounts, that I should log into to account I want to get credit for.

What happens to my old credits? Do I lose over ten years' worth of computing credit because I want to change my account? Does my diligence and commitment to a project mean so little? I don't really care about the small amount of credit that the newest account has, but it does matter to me if I lose my stake in more than 17 years of processing.

The email address under which I have the most credit is going to be destroyed shortly, and I will not be able to receive mail there any longer.

Is there any way to continue processing without a valid email address? What if I forget my password?

You can change the email address associated with an account - go to your "account" web page and look for the "change email address" link and follow the instructions. Thus you can keep which ever account you want, but you can only have one account per email address, so be careful!
