Hey LamFY,

Thanks for the question. The short answer is Yes. Once you change your Apple ID primary email address, the previous email address will be freed up for use with another account:

Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID

Be sure to follow all of the steps in this resource, most importantly the first step of signing out of all Apple features and services.

Thanks,

Matt M.
