There are many reasons to want to remove your Google e-mail address from your computer, but the most common reason is that you are switching email providers. No need to worry you can still keep all of your old messages after removing it . However there is also one disadvantage: if you use any third party services such as “Sendinblue.com” or others (that’s why I add this ad before writing this article to get some money, hehe) that allows you to send mail from your own domain , you’ll have to create a new Google account or move your email over to another service.

Background information [to use as knowledge, not to be copied verbatim]: In this article when I say “Google Email” what I really mean is the email connected to your Google Account. If you have more than one email address tied to that Google Account then it’s possible for that account name and email address to appear multiple times in Windows Live Mail, even though it’s all the same e-mail address that connects to a single Google account.
