Profile (icon next to log out) > click on + by email and add your new one > verify it > go back and click on ''update'' and tick the box that says to make that email address the primary one.
Then once its primary you have the option to remove the old now not primary one OR you can leave it if its still active as you can have 8 email addys on the one paypal account.
