Never mind. I figured it out. I had added a correspondence email address but Apple was still sending all email correspondence to my Apple ID email account!! When I tried to change my Apple ID to my correspondence email, it said that I could not use that new email address!! I had to remove my correspondence email address first then go to change my Apple ID and then it allowed me to use new email address and all is good. All because Apple does not have a method to allow you to send all email correspondence to a different email address as apple ID, turns out correspondence email is simply for password recovery purposes or something like that!! Cheers.
