One of the sticker parts of getting the best OS in the world for free. When the overworked, understaffed, volunteers don't reply to pleas for help, that means: Somewhere between "we don't talk to idiots" (not really) to "you'll figure it out," on the one axis; between "I am fighting with my significant other" (probably not) to "I got as many of the most important tasks and responses done as I could" on the other axis; and between "try, try, try again" (if you think it that important) to it's in the queue, on the third axis. I have always just subscribed my new address, then unsubscribed my old. I don't think there is a change address function.
