You'll need to change it on postgresql.org:

https://www.postgresql.org/account/

Once you've done that, log out of all PG sites (possibly by deleteing
cookies which you may have from them) and then log into postgresql.org
first and then go to lists.postgresql.org and the update should be
passed through.

Thanks!

Stephen

That wasn't what the OP was asking about, but if you're having an issue
there, then please explain exactly what you're trying to do and what
issue you're seeing.  We're happy to try and resolve any such issues.

Thanks!

Having https://www.postgresql.org/account/reset/ send an password email to 
the address where I receive list emails hasn't worked for me in years.  
(Yes, I looked in the Spam folder, and the Inbox, and the folder where 
-general emails are filtered to.)

When I'd stopped using PG for a while, the simplest solution was to send 
them to the Trash.

I just tried it and it worked for me:

"You are receiving this e-mail because you requested a password reset 
for your
PostgreSQL community account.

Please go to the following page and choose a new password:

https://www.postgresql.org/account/reset/ODIzMA-4uk-1d498cb7a2655b5e69ac/

Your username, in case you've forgotten, is aklaver.

If you could contact me off-list with exactly the email address you're
using, we can look into it.

Note that the account reset page will only work if you have an existing
account and only for the (single) email address associated with that
account.  Other email addresses which are added through
https://lists.postgresql.org are not actually able to be used to log
into https://postgresql.org (at least, not yet..  maybe one day).

These days, each email from the mailing list includes a link which can
be used to unsubscribe from that list without having any account.

Thanks!

Yes. Ron, if you take the time to look at a raw email, just look for the
field value of List-Unsubscribe and you are good to go.  I don't know
much how email clients parse that, but gmail actually shows that as a
small button you can click on if I recall correctly.
