Changing Your Email Address

All email from TypePad, including comment notifications and billing emails, are sent to the email address in the Author Profile of your account. It is important the email address is up to date.

Edit Author Profile

To change your email address, go to Account > Summary and enter the new email address. The address should be entered as a single, plain email address such as you@example.com without extra characters. Click the Save Changes button.

The email address displayed in the Author Profile will not change immediately. You will need to confirm the new email address before the Author Profile will update.

Confirm the new Email Address

After clicking Save Changes, an automated email from donotreply@typepad.com will be sent to the new email address. The email will contain a unique link. Click the link to confirm the change in address and the Author Profile page of your TypePad account will open in a new browser window. The new email address will now be displayed in the Author Profile.

The "Email Me" link displayed on your blog or About Page will update with the new email address after the pages are republished. At Account > About Me Page, you can click Save & Republish to update your About Page. Blogs can be republished at Blogs > Design.

If you do not see the email from donotreply@typepad.com in your Inbox, it may have been misrouted as spam. Check the junk or spam mail folders within your email account for the email. You may also want to add donotreply@typepad.com to your list of approved senders.

The email address in your Author Profile is used to send important email from TypePad regarding your account. This includes comment and TrackBack notifications, Help Ticket replies, and information related to billing for your account. It is important that the email address is valid and current.

Why do I receive the "Email address is already in use" error?

Each TypePad account requires a unique email address. If your email address is being used for another account, you will receive the "Email address is already in use" error and the Author Profile will not update with the address.

Is the email address displayed on my site?

The email address and other information in the Author Profile is not displayed on your blog or About Page. You can select to display an Email Me sidebar link in your blog's sidebar at Blogs > Design > Content, or on your About Page.

If you choose to display your email address on your About Page or your blog sidebar, your address will be automatically encoded for protection against most spam harvesters. However, if you are concerned about privacy, keep in mind that the most surefire way to protect against spam harvesters is to never display your email address at all.
