Q: Cant use valid email as a new AppleID
Hi
I'm trying to create a new AppleID with an valid email address, but got error message "This email address is not available for use as a new AppleID". When I checked if this email address is already an AppleID. i've got "this email is not an AppleID" What can I do???
iPhone 6, iOS 9.2.1

Frequently the problem is that the email is listed as an additional email address for your Apple ID; you can check that and remove it by logging in to your Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/
Also note that rather than creating a new Apple ID it is generally desirable to change the primary email on your existing Apple ID: Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
