Depending on your settings, you will receive emails from LinkedIn with information about activity on your account.

You may wish to change the email address that receives these messages.

To do this you must first add the email address to your account, and then choose it as your ‘Primary’ address.

To add a new email address

1. Click on the ‘Settings’ link in the top right of your screen
   
2. Under the Personal Information section click on the link to ‘Email Addresses’
   
3. Enter your new Email Addresses and click on [Add email address]
   
4. There will be a message displayed at the top of the screen saying your email address has been added and a confirmation email has been sent.
   
5. Now check your emails using that address, open the one from LinkedIn and click on the confirmation link.
   

Choosing your Primary Address

You can only choose an email address as your ‘Primary’ if it has been confirmed.

1. Click on the ‘Settings’ link in the top right of your screen
   
2. Under the Personal Information section click on the link to ‘Email Addresses’
   
3. Under the Current Email Address section, click the circle next to the email address you want to nominate
   
4. Click on [Make Primary]

When it is successful the email you’ve chosen will appear at the top of the list with the label ‘Primary Address’.
