No your @XXXXX.plus.com can't be altered. Have you turned on PN's Spam Blocking features, apart
from running some additional s/ware to tackle spam?

Yes turned on spam. I have increased the level. I did get an email to say some spam had been quarantined.

Thanks for the reply

Hi there.

While we can't change your username or the last part of your e-mail address after the @ symbol as that would be set at @ Username.plus.com, you'll be able to change the first part before the @ here by setting up another mailbox.

Hope this helps.
