Note that you can't reuse an email address that was previously been associated with an Apple ID in any way until an uncertain period has passed--sometimes reputed to be 30 day and sometimes 1 year. Also, I have seen that you never can use such an email address again. The last time I saw someone claim a time period it was 30 days. You can contact Apple support on to check out the wait period.
