  Hi. Can someone please help? I’m trying to change my email address in my account settings but it says that it’s ‘in use’. Is this true for email addresses used with an old wordpress blog that I have since deleted?
  Would someone please let me know as I am unable to change my email address otherwise.
  Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You have two separate email address settings at WordPress.com.

  Blog notifications for the admin (like comment moderation, Likes, new subscriptions, etc) are sent to the email address at Settings -> General in the Dashboard.

  Personal notifications (like comments on your post, subscription emails, and upgrade renewals) are sent to the email address at Users -> Personal Settings in the Dashboard.
