Please note this is for the forum. If you are wanting to change your Evernote account name, AFAIK, that is not possible b/c it's integral to the way your data is stored locally and in the cloud. IE, the local Windows database is your-user-name.exb

How about this on a Windows or Mac computer?

• Export all your Evernote Notes to an .enex file.
• Create an entirely new Evernote account with the user name you want.
• Start up Evernote.
• Specifiy the account with the new user name. (There shouldn't be any Notes in it.)
• Import the .enex file.
• Delete the old Evernote account.

Any reason this wouldn't work?

That would work in order to move to a different *account name* as opposed to a different *forum name*. Of course, the new upload will go against the new account. So if you are moving very many notes, it may require a premium account or patience (to move 60 mb per month for a free account). Plus, in order to DELETE the old account, one would need to submit a support ticket, since users can only deactivate their accounts. Deletion requires the assistance of Evernote staff.
