your email address is tied to a phone number, i've never heard of that & not using for 10+ years, wouldn't worry about it.

shwan-

I definitely want to make sure you're provided with the best solution. May I ask how is your e-mail attached to your mobile number? How is this affecting your device? What make/model phone do you have?

you need to figure out which is your default email, not necessarily what you're using.

shwan, thank you for the information you provided. Removing your old email address form you text messages will be a breeze. We just need to ask a couple of questions. What text messaging application are you using? Native or third party? What does the text message application icon look like?  -JacobV_VZW

sorry i am definitely not cell phone 'savy'. i just click on the little default message type window, message myself, but address it to my gmail, then my gmail will display my old email address.

Let’s come at this from another angle, shwan. Click on this link and log in to your Gmail account. https://myaccount.google.com/phone
What shows up for you mobile number when logging into your current Gmail? What shows when logging into your old Gmail?

When you send a text to your old email address, does it reach your phone?    Does your Message app have any Settings that point to an email address?
