Gmail does not let you change your email address directly. However, you can create a new email and import your existing emails and contacts to this account. First, set up a new Gmail account. Then, use Gmail's import tools (in Settings) to transfer emails and contacts. Finally, configure automatic forwarding and set up the new address for future communication. While this doesn’t alter your current email, it helps in smoothly transitioning to a new one without losing important information.
