I see at page http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/ SETI team has made it easier to combine classic seti with Boinc/Seti even if your classic email address is no longer valid.
I am in this catorgory. But if I do this will I have to start all over again at 0 credits.

NEVERMIND.This is only for new accounts.I started BOINC SETI already and tried to put in my current Boinc email address and it said an account with that address already exist which is mine.

Thinking out loud here...if you were to sign up for a free email
account at say yahoo and then usethat account to sign up for Boinc
using your Classic stats. Maybe you could then crunch under it instead
of where you are now. Then you could close your current Boinc account,
which should remove the emaill address, and then change the yahoo
address to your real one.
Long and conveluted for a small line in your stats but a possibility.
You propably would have to wait for all of the units you are now
crunching and returning to be credited and deleted too. I have some
waiting since July 2004, so it may not work.

That's an idea. I was thinking of just starting a new account.But all those credits I've worked on[bringing a tear to my eye]. Some how my account date is wrong anyway since the database update and server downtime.I'll give it a tinking over.
I just may keep them seperate.Classic and Boinc are different phases of the same search for ET.
 When they end SETI Classic I'll copy my last work unit and sign up date pages.
