In reading all the responses about how to change a Gmail address it seems to me the answer is you can't do it.
Is this really correct that once you get an email account are stuck with it the rest of your life and beyond? Is there really no way to cancel your Google email account and get a new one later?

You can't rename the Gmail mail ID. If you badly want to change it and doesn't want to lose the mails, then you have two options.
1.You can assign alternative mail ID for the existing one. Alternative mail ID supports all the operations supported by original mail ID.

2.You can create a new gmail account and delegate the old account with the new one. By doing this you can read, reply and delete mails of old account from new account.
