  Hi there!

  You may use one email address on a single WordPress.com account only. If you want to swap the email address on an account, you’ll need to do the following:

  1. Log into the WordPress.com account that already uses the email address you wish to use.
  2. Change the email address to something else. Make sure to confirm the change.
  3. Log back into your desired account and use the email address that you just freed from the other account.

  If you use a Gmail address, note that you can add the + sign before @gmail.com and add keywords. Gmail will ignore anything after the + sign, but WordPress.com will treat those as separate email addresses. This will be useful in freeing up your email address on the existing account.

  If you need further help with this, please send an email to passwordhelp@wordpress.com.

  Thanks!
