Mission: Change email address that I have created, bind to the google/youtube service.

I want to change the main email. (A)
To a new one (B) [Used to have an email from other website]
I have a Brand account aswell (C).

Now, it says I can't use gmail on google plus? But I don't know.
I can't really find an option to put B in the place of A.
But keep C on the B.

I can't find the options...

Please help. Any Advice?

Just want the old youtube accounts connected with new gmail.


And when I try to change my email I get this.

Sorry, a Gmail address is not allowed to be the primary address of this account.

Still weird that they don't want you to use your gmail address... Isn't complete control of our digital lives what they want?

Yeah. Perhaps they don't want you to switch your Gmail adress for a new one. *shrug*

Well, I have done that just today.

Here's How I made it...

Created a new E-mail. (Gmail)

I went to something like Branding in the options, since I had a youtube account with the main old email (which was on Primary Owner status) I put the new email as an owner. I logged in accepted it. I went back to old one and set to Primary Owner. And the site told me to wait 24hours for that. I did that. And When I came back I have accepted that on the new Gmail. And set the old account... as just an Owner. And deleted it. My new Gmail became the right Primary Owner.

I am just thinking now, how to put all my games and purchases from Google Play store onto the new mail.... hmm...

Other than that... I'm good now. All emails are coming into the new address now.

I always find my way. (A stubborn man, is a stubborn man.) :D
