 * I am original site admin, I then added 2 more admin accounts. Yet when someone
   makes a comment or uses contact form, I am the only one to get an email from 
   the website notifying of the event.
 * How can I make it so either all admin accounts get the emails…or make it so one
   of the other admin gets it and not me?
 * (I thought about just deleting my admin account, but I have a bunch of articles
   created and I do not want to lose them. Will I lose them if I delete my account,
   I could not find this answer. I also do not have the option to change my account
   from admin to something else since I was first account I guess.)

 * To change the author’s post, you have to learn ID authors.
 * Run SQL query in phpMyAdmin:
 * >  UPDATE wp_posts SET post_author = REPLACE ( post_author, ‘1’, ‘2’ );
 * Where
    1 – is the ID of the old author 2 – is the ID of the new author
 * **Make a copy of the database before!**

 * to answer your second question, you could create a new admin account for yourself.
 * Then delete the old one.
 * When you delete an account, it asks who you wish to assign your posts to, you
   could then assign them to your new account you created
