Can't confirm new email address because email confirmation goes to address that I can't access

My old att address is no longer viable, I have no access, and I have a new email address. The issue is that when I change my email address the confirmation goes to the old address which I can't get to, no longer exists, have no access. I have an order sitting in my Etsy account and I would like to fulfill it and be able to get notifications at new email address. Please advise how I can fix this.  There is not a chat or an 800 number that lets me contact Etsy. I won't even be able to see email replies unless I go into my Etsy site because they will be sent to my old address. Please help. Thanks.

Thanks, but that is not the issue. The att platform is not viable any longer. I had that email for 30 years and then att changed their platform. It is not an att issues. I want to change my email address associated with my Etsy account. I can't be the first person who doesn't have access to an old email address.

See if Etsy chat is available in your dashboard.

I have looked and looked to no avail. I was hoping it would be an option but I do not see it. I'm going to keep searching. This is so frustrating.

Thank you. I did get to that page and was able to put all the info in that would confirm it was me asking for the change. I guess I will have to just wait a day or two and see what happens. Your answer gave me hope...:).

I am having the same problem. However there is no I still need help line, and the line that says I do not have access to the old email just takes me to a page that says Get Help but does nothing when I try to click on it.

I thought there were other options for choosing how confirmation is handled ... e.g. mine is via a text with a code that allows me to login.

and like you, I learned the hard way that its always a good idea to have at least two ways of accessing accounts ... most of my accounts now require this.

And ATT may be able to redirect your emails to a new email address.
