How to change your primary login email address

Sometimes you need to change the email address you use to log into Zoho. This could be because during the trial, you signed up with a different address, or you changed your email address. This should NOT be used for linking a different user to the account - the scenario is that you currently log in with <generic.email>@<yourdomain>.com and want to log in via <your.name>@<yourdomain>.com, or you signed up with <your.name>@<gmail>/<hotmail>.com and wish to point it to <your.name>@<yourdomain>.com.

Example - Mark from Unboxed Business signed up to the Zoho account via info@unboxedbusiness.com - and needs it to change to mark@unboxedbusiness.com

Or

Mark from Unboxed Business signed up to the Zoho acocunt via mark.unboxedbusiness@gmail.com - and needs to change it to mark@unboxedbusiness.com.
