Change of email address

I switched from comcrap to att.net for email a few months ago.
Itunes and my macbook still have me under the old email address. What is the most pain free way to tell Apple that I have a new address? (Such that I dont have problem making purchases and doing updates etc.)

I went in the opposit direction, and there is no good way. I'm still trying to get updates on the old address. It's a disaster.

I did not try doing it through itunes,
I just got this feeling that it would not be a global solution

Thanks

So you'd login using username@comcast.net and your password.

But any emails would go to your updated @att.net email.
