Title: Need another Email address, was breached
Post by: Mizzkizz7 on July 30, 2020, 02:29:54 pm
I was wondering how to forward all of my important emails to another new email address quickly. My email address has been breached twice and that's the one I use for surveys  I have a Gmail. Any suggestions?

Do you mean you can't get into your email at all? Or that your password has been exposed?

Usually all you have to do is change your password. Otherwise you can create a new Gmail and in the settings you can have your old emails forwarded. I have my old Yahoo emails forwarded to my Gmail, so I don't have to check both.

Try different email site like yahoo.com.

You could always just make the new name and go to each site and change the email to go to that instead. To me thats more simpler than just having everything being forwarded.

Gmail gives you the option to forward emails to another address. Just go to Settings and click on Forwarding & POP/IMAP tab. Add the email of the forwarding address in the Forwarding section and click Next Proceed.

Set up a new email account and then go to each place you use the old email and change your email address.  Periodically check the old account until nothing is coming there anymore.

You can set up another email address and then forward  the emails you want to save to that new address. then everyone who emailed you at the old address, send them an email address from the new email address .

My email address was breach exposing IP addresses, physical addresses, passwords,etc.
The apps were: Appen, Wattpad, and Straffic for me. I have no idea who Appen or Straffic is. I just created another Gmail account and changed my pw for all my accounts. I thought about forwarding so I still might forward the remainder of emails to the new one.

Appen used to be Figure 8 and Crowdflower. I just saw a message today from my credit card company that my email and name were also exposed by Appen. That's probably why we don't have tasks on FC right now.

You are welcome.  I had to do the same thing.  I still have access to the old email address and still from time to time check it so I don't lose access to it. The thing with just forwarding is if somebody got in to your account and may have access they would be able to get access to the new email where everything is being forwarded.

Yep I know. I thought about that too..I would delete the entire old gmail account but I don't know how to send all my pics to the new one. I did upload my images but crazy as it sounds I don't know where to start. How about if I made my new email the default email? My old active breached email is still active and my default.

You could probably make a new one and it be the main one and connect the two.  My email is suppose to have been breached before and nothing came of it.
