That is to say, you can instantly share funny junk mails with image attachments on your Facebook Wall by simply forwarding those emails to this special email address of your Facebook profile.
Clearly, it is way simpler and more efficient than have to download attachments from email server then upload again to Facebook.

So i’ve tried resetting my email but everytime i tried there was an error. Then eventually it said I exceeded the number of times I can reset and it says I have to wait a couple of days. It still didn’t let me reset it. Is there a way around this?
need uploaded email reset have never reseted it before.
The same thing happened to me. I never had an E-mail account for FB
How do I change it?

It shouldn’t be this hard, and really all I need to do is get around the error but it obviously won’t allow that. All I want to do is post some pictures…

This method no longer works.
Do you know of any other way? I have contacted facebook about this issue 14 times over the last seven months and have never received a response.
This dosnt work every time I press upload image it won’t let me upload images.
Hey all, anyone suffering this issue and unable to change their upload email go to: https://www.facebook.com/help/hacked
Go through the steps to secure a hacked account. Once you have done this you are also allocated a new upload email.
