Changing email address

[pminch]

I changed my email address in the contact information, and I receive emails from lds.org on this new address. But when I send an email to someone using the address in the directory, it sends from my old (inactivated) email address. How can I get that changed?

The webpage is simply making a "call" (using the "mailto" command) to whatever the default email program on your computer is. You need to update your computer with the new email address so "mailto" calls up the correct email box.

@Ramasela,
Contact your ward clerk, assistant ward clerk, or assistant ward clerk-membership to edit your email address if you do not know how to do it yourself through the online Directory or through Member Tools.

You, or your clerk can do this:

• Go to Ward Directory and Map
• Find yourself in the directory and click on it
• click on the blue circular pencil icon (lower right in left column)
• Click on "privacy" in the tool bar near the top of the left column)

Note that nothing can be less private than the Household setting.

I have the same problem of the Orange Private setting. It will not let me change that setting when I use the Blue Pencil changing everything from Private to member visibility and clicking Save. It says that it accepted the change but it is still showing Private setting and everything in Orange. Help!

What is the Household Privacy setting set to? Nothing in your household can be less restrictive than the Household setting.
