Any way of doing this, as I no longer use my Gmail account, and can't seem to change the login address to my new one?

How can I change the email address associated with my Stack Exchange OpenID?

Once you associate an email with your Stack Exchange OpenID, you can't change it, this is . Says Kevin Montrose:

If you've lost access to the e-mail you registered with initially, create a new openid.stackexchange account and either add it to your Stack Overflow account (via your profile page, if you're still logged in) or create a new Stack Overflow account and email us via the Contact link so we can merge the two accounts.

From: How do I change the email address associated with my Stack Exchange OpenID?

Rather, you have to create a new SE OpenID here: https://openid.stackexchange.com - confirm via email - then go to your Super User profile, click My Logins on the upper right corner, between flair and apps. A popup appears - then click add more logins. From there, click the Stack Exchange OpenID option and type your credentials, click confirm and you're good to go.

    Once you associate an email with your Stack Exchange OpenID, you can't change it, this is status-bydesign. So the design is to be unnecessarily and highly inconvenient, cumbersome, and time-consuming? ಠ_ఠ
