Details

To help prevent users from being locked out of their account we want to allow users to change their email address[1], which means code on the server and clients alike will need to be revisited. I'm setting up this bug to track changes needed for Android to support this feature.

I don't know much about doing this on Android.  We create a native Android account object, which has a unique, constant primary key which is almost always the email address.  We probably will need to tear down and re-create the account object.  It's not something we would want to do frequently.  Technically, there's no reason that we could not associate a single email (even a defunct email) with many emails.

This will need some careful consideration.

I'm duping this to Bug 1368147 which, while more recent, also has more discussion in it.
