- How
can I change my e-mail address?
Log into your My Astro profile (top menu bar) and use the Link View/edit registered user data to change your e-mail address.
You now find yourself on the page "My Astro > Registration Data". Just change the address you have entered in the top input field called E-mail. Then, enter your current password and click the "OK" button at the bottom of the page.
NOTE: Please do not change your e-mail address and password in one transaction. If you want to change both, please do it in separate steps (see also "How can I change my password?").Please remember that you should NEVER use your password from your email account as password for www.astro.com. At www.astro.com, just use some extra password which you use only for this service and which you find easy to remember.

can I delete my e-mail address?
Please be aware that by deleting your e-mail address, you will delete your complete registered user profile, including all your data.

You will be asked to confirm your request, because we want to avoid that someone can "accidentally" delete their profile.

You will be led to an Astrodienst web page where you can enter and confirm your new password.
Should you be unable to find the help mail in your mailbox, please check the spam box of your e-mail account. Some internet service providers classify all automated e-mails as spam.
