    Theres no built in funtion to allow that. You'd need customization, or a plugin to make that happen. I think a plugin would be the way to go.

    BTW - Can you explain why you'd want to know that?

    I use another program to send newsletters, it tracks the opening rates etc.
    So I need to manually change the email addresses in the other program.
    I guess I could go every time through the export process, but people do not change their email address often, so it would be easiest to just manually update my mailing program database.

    I think I might just set aMember so people cannot edit their email address in profile.php, and then create a PHP form for people to change their email address. Then I can manually update both aMember and my mailing database.

    Thanks

    Sounds like a product plugin is the way to go where Amember would be the master Db that populates the newsletters.

    What program are you using?

    I am using SendStudio, but only members having a particular product are entered into the database of the email program, not all members.

    It's easy enough to set up an email form for members to update their email address, and then for me to manually updated it in both programs.

    It does not happen very often. Maybe one day I need to automate it (I wish :), that would mean my site would be taking off) but for the moment it's fine.
