Troubleshooting


Overview

The following steps will show you how to change the email address associated with your Craigslist account.


Before You Start

You must have access to the current email inbox in order to change the email address to a new one. To ensure that you have access, send yourself an email to both accounts and make sure you're able to receive emails in both inboxes.

Please note: You can only attempt to change the email address on your account once per day and you can only change the email address on your account once every 30 days. 


Changing Your Craigslist Email

2. Click my account in the top left-hand corner. Then enter your credentials and click Log In.

Troubleshooting

Can I change the email address to an account that was provided to me by Rooof PostEngine?

These accounts have been designed specifically for your property and will forward all incoming emails to you!  Please DO NOT change the email address of a Craigslist account that was provided to you by the team at PostEngine.  If you'd like to update the forwarding email addresses, please email help@rooof.com.

I don't have access to the current email address.

You will need to have access to the current email address in order to change the email address of the Craigslist account.  If you do not have access, please create a brand new Craigslist account with the email address of your choice.
