My old Apple ID is my old hotmail address, it is not vaild any more. I tried to change it to my current gmail. It doesn't allow. It said that I can't use my notification email for my Apple ID. I tried to delete my current email from Reachable At. It still doesn't work. Anyone know how to fix this issue? This is really inconvient.
Were you able to remove the email address from Reachable At?
Apple hasn’t published any guidance for using an address again. Normally, if your e-mail address was associated with an ID in any way, for example as a Notification email address or a Rescue e-mail address, then it can't be reused with another Apple ID for approximately one year. I have also seen posts that stated Apple told them there was a 30 day waiting period before the address could be used again. You will need to get another e-mail address to use as your Apple ID or you can try waiting 30 days to see if that works.

Problem solved by changing notification email from security.
How can I change my Apple ID to my current notification email?
