    You can use any email address that you have access to, that is all that matters, there are no specific requirements for what it should be.

    Ying-Shing,

     

    Avoid me.com, icloud.com, and mac.com addresses, as many people on this Forum have problems using those for iTunes.  Ditto for aol.com.

     

    Use a personal email address, not a business address, for various reasons.

     

    Other than that any address that you normally use should be fine.  Most people use either the email from their ISP or else one from one of the major email services such as yahoo, hotmail, or gmail.
