ok, i have now found that this is indeed possible. well, sort of
you can now do this by following the link below
https://accountservices.passport.net/?lc=1033
however, i am on the understanding that if you have a microsoft type of address (hotmail, msn etc) then you cannot achieve this. i guess that once you're in.... you aint ever gunna leave.
so at least that helps anyone changing companies etc to keep their profiles by using a different email address.

yes, that's my problem
i may not have access to this email address soon and wish to keep my profile but simply change the email address.
i can't believe that this cannot be done.... or am naive here ;-)
