I want to use my old email with new Apple ID

This just happened to me, I was able to reuse an email that was used by family member.

After it was removed 30 days ago as of today, I was able to create an appleid with it today. I tried two days ago and could not use it then as 30 days had not passed yet.

Apple support told me this 30 days ago and did not believe this would work out but it did.

Hope this helps someone frustrated out there.

You can't use an email that's been used before.

For some reasons I wanted a new Apple ID but wanted to kept my same old email. What I did was changed email of my current(example@gmail.com) Apple ID to (example123@gmail.com) and then tried to make a new ID with my old email(example@gmail.com) but when I tried to create ID, it still said that my email is used with another id. But I actually changed that old email with a new one! Please solve this issue. I'm very upset. Hope some answers soon......

You will have to wait 30 days after having made this change to reuse an email that has already been in use for an Apple ID in the past. Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support and speak with Account Security to assure that this old email is not existing and verified on any other accounts as an alternate email or rescue. You will, of course, need to be verified for ownership of said accounts before any information can be provided. Otherwise, you're a random voice asking for information on an account over the telephone.

Thanks for a good reply! So if I don't contact Apple Support and just wait for 30 days, will I be able to reuse my email?

You don't have to contact Apple to wait out the 30 days. You just want to be sure you aren't using that desired email on any of your other Apple IDs if you have multiple Apple IDs.
