How can I change my login and e-mail address?

Question
-
I'm not quite sure how I got my login for MSDN from years ago.
my login is an old e-mail address (@comcast.net). I have not had comcast for years. How can I associate all my user data with a new login name? Also if I ask it to update me on replies to posts where does it send the update? to my old e-mail? How can I make it send updates to replies to my current address and drop this old login?

Hi Alan,
Similar issue that I replied to this thread. Currently, we don't have a disassociate/re-associate feature. This is something that I'm tracking and passing it along to our team.
Thanks.

Hi Alan,
Changing the e-mail address in your profile doesn't affect alerts. Alerts are being sent through your windows live id login account. I've seen similar cases on this issue and have informed our team. No ETA on a feature or fix but it's under discussion.
Thank you

Hi Alan,
Yes this needs to be addressed. I change my e-mail in my profile but I am not sure if that affects alerts, does it?

As far as my login it would nice to change it, I made this login with an old account probably 7 years ago when I used to play a microsoft run game. -

This kinda sucks, cause I can't get alerts to posts. I don't suppose I can make an individual request to have my info transferred to a new ID I make or something?
