If I change the root email address on an account, can I then reuse the old root email address for another account?

0

I know that if I close an account, I cannot reuse that email address as the root email address for another account. I also know that I can change the root email address on an active account. If I change the root email address, can I then reuse the original root email address for a new account, or is that previous address reserved somehow?

(I will go ahead and test this out since it should be easy enough to test.)

Should release the email without issue. I would recommend using a unique email address for the account instead of a generic or shared email address so you don't run into this issue in the future.

    Cool yeah I just got around to testing this and it did work.

    I am using "unique" email addresses (generated based on a formula) but we kinda wanted to reclaim a project name for something else, hence the question. But for now we don't have a need to actually do this.
