You have opened a new personal mailbox and want selected contacts to know where future messages should go.
The useful bits
- New address checked for spelling
- Trusted recipient list
- A useful reply confirms the new route or asks you to verify the change independently.
Before you write
Use this example when you have opened a new personal mailbox and want selected contacts to know where future messages should go. Gather the details below so the recipient can act without asking you to reconstruct the situation.
- New address checked for spelling
- Trusted recipient list
- Whether the old mailbox is still monitored
An email you can adapt
The subject “My updated email address” identifies the request. Replace each bracketed field with a checked detail and remove any sentence that does not describe your situation.
Subject: My updated email address Hi [name], Please use [new address] for future personal messages to me. I have checked that I can receive mail there. [Old address] will be [accurate monitoring status], so please update your saved contact rather than rely on forwarding. This message is only a contact update and does not ask you to send money, passwords or verification codes. If the change is unexpected, you can confirm it with me through our usual independent contact route. Best, [sender]
Check the boundary
Send the update only to intended contacts and avoid exposing everyone’s addresses in a large visible recipient list.
What a useful reply should settle
A useful reply confirms the new route or asks you to verify the change independently.
Check a fresh exchange at the new address before depending on it for important coordination.
