    Morning Woo, what problems are you having?

    You can open another gmail account, and then use that to log in to Google. The original one will stay dormant.

      I agree with HG, no need to delete the old account. I've got three gmail accounts, can log into google with any of them - not that I do as I don't trust google and don't understand the benefits.

      Maybe I'm missing out on not logging into Google. Just wondered what advantage is there to being logged into Google?

        I only use my gmail for important stuff all the other rubbish goes to another account, I have my phone connected to my google account, if I take any pictures they are on my computer by the time I walk in the house.
