how do I change the defaulted gmail to a different e-mail to get notifications?

I'm not really clear what your asking. Do you have more than one Gmail address? Do you have both of them set up on your iPhone? If so, you can chose which email accounts you get notifications for by going to Settings>Notifications>Mail then tapping on each account and choosing what type of notifications you want for that account.

You change your rescue email address at id.apple.com. You log in with your Apple ID & password, go to Password & Security, enter your security question answers, and then you can edit or delete your rescue email address.

If you are trying to make your primary address your recovery address and your recovery address your primary, you may have a problem as you'll keep getting the message that the address is already in use. My solution to the problem was to make my recovery address a third email address, change the primary to address that I had been using as a recovery address, then change the recovery address to what used to be the primary

Or just delete the rescue email address, then change the primary, then re-add a rescue email address.

I.E., starting point:

PRIMARY: EMAIL ADDRESS #1

RESCUE: EMAIL ADDRESS #2

Delete the Rescue Email Address

PRIMARY: EMAIL ADDRESS #1

RESCUE: NONE

Change the Primary Email Address

PRIMARY: EMAIL ADDRESS #2

RESCUE: NONE

Add the Rescue Email Address

PRIMARY: EMAIL ADDRESS #2

RESCUE: EMAIL ADDRESS #1

And make sure to verify them as well.

Yes, that works, too. I never thought to go without a rescue email address, even for a short period. 🙂

Well, I have faith that you wouldn't forget your security questions within the 3-5 minutes it would take to reset up a new rescue email address. 😉

Ha! Depends on the day. 😁

No, you go to id.apple.com. Log in with your Apple ID & password. Go to the Password & Security section. Log in with your security question answers. Edit the rescue email address. Verify the rescue email address at that email account.
