Address change has to be notified to email providers?

Tsunami · 29 Mar 2021, 05:57 AM

I just relocated to a new apartment. I was wondering if I need to notify this change of address to any email service I am using. I cannot recall having to give my actual address when signing up, but it's too long ago to be sure.

The services I use are:
Protonmail
Outlook.be
Gmail

In addition I also have subscriptions for Smugmug, McAfee and MS Office.

Is there any of those services where an address change has to be made in my account?

Unless they snail mail you invoices or such I doubt they need a mailing address.

I bought google products such as workspace
They do address verification when making payments
Any fake address will be rejected.

Debit/credit card payments that companies you deal with try to take will have to match the home address that the card-issuer has for your account.
Presumably you have told your banks etc that you've moved?

So if the email hosts etc store that info in their billing system you'll need to change it. Otherwise, they may store the info in their normal user details, and extract it to use with billing details.

Perhaps I should divide between paid and free services:

I use Protonmail and Gmail for free.

I registered my outlook.be email address for free, but it is now part of my MS Office package, for which I pay the license.

Smugmug.com and McAfee are obviously paid subscriptions.
