Possible unwanted side effects of changing related mail account
Dropbox has notified me that you can not contact me using the mail address related to the Dropbox account I use at work.
This is true, so I want to change it to use another mail account.
This operation itself seems to be easy and straight forward, but first I need to know if there are any unwanted side effects of doing so ?
1: Will existing Dropbox links to directories within the account be broken?
2: Will other Dropbox accounts with whom I have shared directories still be able to access the shared directories without doing anything?
3: Will the local directory names used for my Dropbox account (which in some cases seem to be autogenerated from the mail-address) be unchanged.
I hope (and expect)that the answer is "Yes" to all of these questions, but better safe than sorry..

Nothing changes other than the email address. All links and sharing will remain unaffected and no directories will change their name (I can't think of any function that names a folder based on your email).
