Sometimes mistakes happen. It is possible for an error to have occurred while you were creating an email, related to your domain name. Here is how to fix that.

First off let’s make a small but significant distinction. If you want to change the email itself, you need to do that from the web hosting control panel. For example from “memail@mysite.com” to “myemail@mysite.com”. The other changes you might want to make are in the email details. Thing like the name that appears in the receiver’s inbox when you send an email, your signature, etc.
Change the Email Address
If you have made an error while creating the email account, the sooner you find out about it, the better. Of course, you could have decided to change your business communications to be taken care of “office@mycompany.com” instead of “sales@mycompany.com”.
For such a change, there is no “one-click fix”. Meaning, you can’t simply rename your email.
What you need to do is to go to your web hosting control panel, and locate the Email Manager section. From there you will have to create a new email.
NB! As you may have a lot of previous communication and a lot of partners and customers might still use your old email, it is best for you to create an Email Alias.
Change the Email Details
If you have made a mistake or just a change of staff occurs, and you need to change the names of the sender, you can do that in the Email Client that you are using.
Depending on which one you are using you may have or might not have this option. If the option is not available to you, a simple solution is to just remove your email from the client and set it up once again.
