Don't worry about the missing button. It has nothing to do with the settings you needed to change.
Since we have different rankings in this forum, there are bound to be some differences.
Adding an email instead of changing is basically the same as adding a new credit card to change your credit card.
You need to add a new one before you can delete the current one.
There always needs to be an email address. You can have more than one email address but only one can be the default.
Default simply means it's the one that's actually used.
I thank you for your explanation bob and I sincerely do appreciate your attempt to explain the "Manage Emails" interface..... but....
Sorry Bob, I'm as confused as ever.... notice, precisely using
your quoted words Bob..... "adding a credit card to change your credit card" suggests replacing a credit card not adding an additional card (your outlying reference to multiple CC's aside). And considering we're discussing "digital records" and not "physical credit cards" I'm at a loss to understand the parallel you're drawing in reference to a "need to add a new one before you can delete the current one", I think you would agree that clearly in terms of "
digital records" the
change from one email to another
is instantaneous, no waiting involved.
Yes, we can agree "there always needs to be an email address", but "more than one",
why? In this context,
what is the purpose? This is what I'm asking about! The reference to "Primary email" Avast mentions (you're calling "default") would seem to me to be superfluous if as you say "Default simply means it's the one that's actually used" (your words). Do you understand my point, if there is only one email that is "primary" as Avast calls it or "default" as you call it, that is "actually used" as you say, then what is the need for "more than one email address" that "you [we] can have" as you've quoted above?
I think you're doing your best to make a square box fit into a round hole, but I'm afraid deductive logic makes your admiral effort problematic. This is evidenced by your obvious recognition that this "Manage Emails" interface references a "Primary Email" which would by definition connote that other emails may exist, yet at the same time it is evident that you also clearly recognize the reality that
only one email can be in use which should lead you to recognize also
by definition this makes the term "Primary Email" superfluous. To be fair, I'm not sure if anyone can explain the context of this interface as it exits in a logical maner I'm afraid.
I agree with you, I see no need for more than one email and using that premise there is no need for the reference to "Primary email" when the fact of the matter is an email change will digitally be replaced at the time the change is made which makes the way the interface presents itself both ambiguous and confusing hence my posted question. All of this is why we should be able to all agree that changing the only email used which is what one would think IS the purpose of this interface by definition relegates the term "Primary email" nonsensical.
If you've taken the time to read this far, perhaps you'll see my point, if not it's not really important except to say that it's clearly a difficult task to actually explain why the interface uses the terms it does if ultimately only one email is all that is used at any one time as we both agree would presumably be the case.
