  I have an older account associated with an old email address with a blog. I accidentally created a new account with my current email, and I would like to manage the blog from my current email. The account management tool won’t let me change my email address to the new one because it says it is already being used. Any ideas on what I can do?

  I think if you have access to a third email account, you can change the new WordPress.com account you created over to that email. This would free up your current email (since it would no longer be in use) to be used in the old blog. Here’s info on that: https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-address/

  Another option is to transfer the blog from the old account to the new one. This is the process: https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-wordpress-com-user-or-account
