I just had that problem and this is what I did to solve it:
Go to the "Password and Security" section. And on that page it will list your apple id's rescue email. You can change/delete it there.
I deleted my rescue email so I could use it as my primary apple id email.
Hope this helps.

How do you go to the "Password and Security" section?
@Brown.Jaelen was too vague. You will find the section you need here:
I have a similar problem but not exactly the same.
I forgot my answers to my secret questions and my iPhone is now locked.
I tried sending a verification to my rescue e-mail address which is shown as dxxx@hotmail.com
now I do have an e-mail starting with a d, and @hotmail.com but not exactly dxxx@hotmail.com.
is this a sensor from apple or has someone hacked my account and changed my rescue e-mail?
The remainder of your email address is being obscurred (including the number of characters). It always displays as the first character followed by 3 "x"s and then the @____.___
After I log in, it keeps asking me to verify my email address... The email listed is no longer valid, so I tried to change it. This is where Apple then tells me I can't use my recovery email as my primary email. It never lets me get to the screen that allows me to add/delete recovery email addresses. 😕
I guess I'll just have to go the Apple Store or call support... I'm getting too frustrated...
That is exactly my problem. Is getting help from apple the only option??
Thats has happened to me 2
I log in and it asks me to verify my email address and I don't see the Password and Security thing on the side.
Has anyone found an answer to this?? I have the same exact problem where my primary email is no longer valid, so I can't even get in to validate the email address to continue. I need to change my Rescue email to my primary. I called apple support & cannot get through to a person; it's all automated & I'm becoming extremely frustrated!!!
Help!!!! Anyone have any suggestions???
What someone posted earlier works, although if you can't remember you password, or the answers to your security questions that is a different problem.
After you complete those steps, then you can go back to the Name, ID, and E-mail Addresses tab, and input the e-mail address you would like. (The one you just deleted from your rescue e-mail.)
Hope that helps....
