apple ID: "This email address is not available."

I'm trying to add an additional email address to my AppleID configuration. The email in question is one that I own and use daily; I'm getting a message that "This email address is not available. Choose. different address." Any ideas how to reconcile this?

Can't add custom domain email address I am trying to add a domain that I own. Error says: 'This email is already in use with another Apple ID.' I have already deleted that Apple ID account (I couldn't just change the email associated with it, and went through the process of having apple remove the account, took 2 weeks). I've tried using the email to log into iCloud.com, to see what Apple ID was using that email, but it says "this email is not in use"... I have set up emails with 3 other custom domains with iCloud, and had no issues. This one is just not working. Any help would be appreciated!
