WordPress won't let me change my administration email address.

I've checked the spam folder and what's more I even changed the email in the mySQL and it still shows up...

Any idea how to kill off this error?

I took the advice of the below advice to find the following in the DB:

update wp_options set option_value='[email protected]' where option_name='admin_email' ;

I changed the above, saved it, and here's the evidence:

I had to cut off the email address after @ but you get the idea...

This is strange right?

Any other course of action I can take?

I tried clearing cache...

If you want to change the setting in General Settings > Administration Email Address, that comes from the admin_email value in the wp_options table. Change that with e.g.:

update wp_options set option_value='[email protected]' where option_name='admin_email' ;
