Changing username

Can I change my username with Runbox? I'm unhappy with the username I selected / I get too much spam to my current email address.

Only as a last resort. If you want a new username, we suggest creating an Alias for your account.

If you're experiencing severe spam issues, we recommend training your spam filter as the most efficient method of dealing with spam. See the Filter Help page for more information.

If you have exhausted all spam filter options, you may contact Runbox Support with your current and your desired username.
