  Hello!

  The email address you used with your deleted WordPress.com account will not be available until 30 days after you closed the account.

  You can learn more about why that email address is temporarily unavailable at this link:
  https://wordpress.com/support/close-account/#account-restoration

  If you don’t want to wait to use your preferred email address again, you can recover your closed account, assign a disposable email address to it, and close the account again. The most efficient way to begin is to reply to the email that confirmed that the account was closed, asking for the account to be opened again.

  Please let us know if you have other questions about using your preferred email address with your newer WordPress.com account.
