You can change an AWS account's root account's email address. Even if you don't want to set up a new email account just for your AWS root account, many email providers include additional forwarding addresses as a feature, or use something like the Gmail feature where `me+aws-root-account@gmail.com` gets sent to me@gmail.com`; from AWS's perspective these are completely different email addresses even if Gmail treats them as the same Gmail account.

This is documented behavior by AWS[0]: > If your AWS account and Amazon.com retail account share the same login information, updating the email address or password on one of the accounts changes information on the other account.
