Hello, I deleted my apple id having planned to recreate it with the same mail. Now that it got deleted when I try to make a new apple id with my mail it says that the mail is not available to use. What can I do. I need my main mail on my apple id please.

Apple will not let you re-use email addresses for accounts. You will need a different email address unless you can still recover the old account.

"What happens if I change my mind after I have requested that my account be deleted?
While your request is being processed, you can contact Apple Support [call them at a telephone number for your country --> Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support ] with the unique alphanumeric access code you received, and we’ll help you cancel your request. After your account is deleted, Apple can't cancel the request, reopen your account, or restore your data."
Although this next section discusses email address re-use in the context of deleting an account, it supports observations frequently posted on this forum about never being able to re-use an email address as an Apple ID once used previously as an Apple ID:

"Can I use the primary email address for my deleted Apple ID account to create a new Apple ID or with another existing Apple ID account?
No, once your Apple ID is deleted, you can't use the email address that you used with it to create a new Apple ID. In addition, you can't use that email address with another existing Apple ID except as a rescue [notification] email. Also, if your primary Apple ID email address is with a Custom Email Domain, it can never be reused to create an Apple ID after your Apple ID is deleted, even if the domain ownership changes."
* I take that to mean you can use the address as a notification address, but the reverse–using a notification email address as an Apple ID–is not possible.
