In setting up my new iphone 11, I put in my email address of ***@gmail.com and it wouldn't accept it. It said that was already taken. But it is the only active email address I have. So, I set it up with my wife's, ***@gmail.com. But now I need to change it to my email address and it still won't let me. I want emails to come to me and not my wife. It's too confusing the way it is. How can I correct it?

Have you wife use What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201351
Then, set the phone up using your Apple ID via Set up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202033

You can't change your wife's Apple ID email address to your Apple ID email address. You need to sign out of her ID and sign in with your ID.
