    HI

    I was open an google account with my Hotmail But now i want to transfer that account under my Gmail address. Is there is any way to switch the primary email address?

    I am using various google services with my old account like adsense, calender, adword etc.

    so let me know if it is possible!

    Thanks
    kayes. :)

    Yes it is possible, I to started with my hotmail account and then changed to my gmail account.

    you need to login to, https://www.google.com/accounts/EditUserInfo and then fill in the "Add an additional email address:" field, confirm your new address, and then you can login with that email address and the same password. (im not sure if you can remove the primary address completely though)

    hope it helps :)

    Dear ariyes's !!!

    You can never edit your primary email address, either you can add an additional email addres

    for add one additionan email addres, login to your adsense account, go to My Account TAB,
    you can open this link too

    https://www.google.com/adsense/account-settings

    here you will see

    Login Information [edit in Google Accounts]

    click on edit in google accounts

    and you will see a sub-form ... just try it

    Good luck

    Thats very strange. Have you tried using @googlemail.com instead of @gmail.com? Mine is setup as @googlemail.com and has been for almost 3 years. Hope you get it fixed :)
