Question

Is there anyway i can change my hotmail adress with out started a new account?

Answer 1

No you can't change your hotmail address, but you might want to try this.  You can open a new hotmail account and then you can arrange for all of the new email you receive in the old email account to be forwarded to your new hotmail account.  That way you still have the old account and receive mail in it, but all of the new mail will be forwarded to your new account.  You can also export a copy of all your contact information to your new account.  You go to Options to do this.  Just make sure that actually sign in to your old mail account periodically so that it is not terminated for lack of use.

You should also get Windwos Live Mail for your desktop.  Here is some information about Windows Live Mail:

"Windows Live Mail is Microsoft’s next-generation e-mail program. It includes the familiar features of Outlook Express and more. Use it to get multiple e-mail accounts in one place, and seamlessly access other Windows Live stuff like Spaces and Messenger."

The following link has all of the information for Windows Live Mail: Overview, Features, and System Requirements.  If you would like to download and install Windows Live Mail after reviewing the information, just click on the orange "Get it free" button.  I have Windows Live Mail and I highly recommend it.  Also, it sounds perfect for what you are looking for, so you should check it out.  You can have both of your hotmail accounts at your fingertips, and in one place.  You don't have to open a browser to get your email and like Outlook Express once you have downloaded the email from the server you can go offline and review it.  You can open it any time without being online - just like Outlook Express or Mircrosoft Outlook.

You should also get Windows Live Messenger, if you don't already have it.  It all ties in together.

Answer 2

I am guessing you still want to keep receiving mail from the old address. If so just forward your emails from the old address to the new one. Or if you need some of the information from the old address you can export (i.e. copy) all of the old information to the new email address.

But the other answer is correct. You can't change the address, you have to move to a new one.
