PS: When you make the change as I described below, you will receive two e-mails. One to the old address and one to the new address.
The one to the old address is the one you can ignore to have the change go into effect. (This deals with cases where the old address is no longer operational.) The one to the new address requires you to click a confirmation link. At that page, you will be asked to enter what the old address was. (Odd, but you must enter the old one.) The confirmation says your log-in has been changed. As far as I know, that is not true. Your log-in has not been changed. At least I am still logged in as orcmid@ openoffice.org but that is not the address any message to my BZ ID will forward to. If I click on "orcmid" on any of the places where I am listed in a bug report, the mail-form that comes up is automatically set with To: orcmid@ apache.org now. -----Original Message----- From: Dennis E.

I think there may be some confusion between BZ user IDs and the e-mail that ID forwards to. For technical reasons, the original one-word User IDs were replaced by their corresponding one-word@ openoffice.org e-mail addresses. That address is used as an identifier and, as far as I know, has nothing to do with the use of that address for receiving e-mail, forwarding, etc. If you have re-registered with a previous ID on the new BZ instance, your profile has a place to specify an actual forwarding e-mail. Be logged in. Go to Preferences. Go to Account Information. Enter your current Password and add a New email address. Submit changes. For committers, an obvious choice is to use your apache-id@ apache.org address as the New email address. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, November 13, 2011 11:49 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: How to change the login of AOO BZ instance?

This list (ooo-dev) is public, so the address you use here is publicly available. You can use that one in BZ, or use your Apache address there (which I did). -- /tj/
