  Hi, could you clarify which email address you intend to use? We’d be happy to help you sort this out.

  Also, if needed you can just transfer the site from one account to the other:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/

  If you want to keep one username but change its email address, let us know which one you want to keep and what the address should be. If you’ll type it here it will be hidden from public view so only staff can see it. We can use that to send you the next steps.

  I want to keep user name reflective solutions and add new email address (email visible only to moderators and staff), then delete the other site MCC Holistic Training with the email address (email visible only to moderators and staff).

  Thanks for helping

  Ok, the two asites are already under two different accounts.

  In order to take care of this, you’ll need a third email address.

  First, change the account you’re currently logged into to that third email address.

  That will free-up the email address on this account to use on the second account.

  For a third email address, you can use a Gmail alias. Instead of using this:

  yourrealemail (at) gmail (dot) com

  Use this:

  yourrealemail+otheraccount (at) gmail (dot) com

  You can make that +1, +whatever, +doesnotmatter … whatever letters or numbers make the most sense to you. Gmail will ignore the plus sign and anything after it. But we won’t, so it’s in effect a second email account that delivers to the same address.
