currently, when you go to your preferences and change your email....

a) a new mail WITH validation link to confirm it is send to your NEW email  (you just entered)
b) a notification is send to your OLD email

so, as there is possible abuse, the choice is to keep this OR

a) a new mail WITH validation link to confirm it is send to your OLD email 
b) a notification is send to your NEW email (you just entered)

As possible as now.

Yet the old email holder would need to verify your email change (once it is changed, the new email is your email)

I say just keep it the same. Are people really getting accounts stolen with the current system?

I have the same amount of complaints I had with the old one.

Just in the old nobody got a notice when a petition was made and the email successfully changed.

I don't think there is a real way to stop acccounts from getting taken. It's just going to happen with any system :/
