You an easily create another email account with the many, many services that provide them for free. You wouldn't want to have the same mail address for your Apple ID and notification/rescue anyway. How is Apple going to contact you with help if your mail ID has problems? For the same reason, you never want to use an iCloud email address as your Apple ID.
