I want to change my email address for all of my projects. I understand that this can foul up the CPID and lose me all of my credits.

Has this maybe by now been somehow overcome?

I have never ever understood the use of an email address as a user id. People change email providers the way they change their underwear. Why can we n ot have a simple user id/password system like almost all web sites?

Who says? If things are aligned now, just go ahead and change the email address for all the client attached projects at their respective accounts **. Long as the clients talk to the project servers few times a day, things will fall in place withing a few days [hit update in client on those reticent]. Projects that are not attached to clients and those that have gone dormant [retired], wont be coming along FAIK.

The email address is cyphered into the CPID to make yours absolutely one off, never a chance of having a duplicate code in a zillion years, at least as long as we're alive.

BOINC structure was never set up to have unique member names across projects [how would you control that, and then have the system roll them up?]

** Make the email addresses absolute same and lowercase [though I understand the system only uses lower case to identify matching addresses [most projects enforce except maybe WCG].
