What about if it says it can't because it's a notification e-mail (that I already deleted as such)?

Hi,


I'm trying to change my appleid email for another one. Mistakenly I introduced that e-mail as a notification one, but when I noticed it wasn't the one of the apple ID I deleted it from the notification one. Now if I try to change the apple id one for the other it keeps saying that it can't be one used for notifications. What can I do?

You can't reuse an email address that was previously been associated with an Apple ID until an uncertain period has passed--sometimes reputed to be 30 days and sometimes 1 year. I also have seen that you can never use such an email address again.You could change your Apple ID to another Apple ID (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202667) at least for now. And you could contact Apple support on this matter. You can get Apple telephone support for help using this link https://getsupport.apple.com/ caller=kbase&PGF=PGF63005&category_id=SC0245&symptom_id=23362 Be patient

sometimes Apple support is closed to immediate phone support.
