How to reuse an email address previously associated with another acocunt.

Until recently, I had two Docusign accounts. I’ll use fake email addresses below to describe the situation and problem.
 
The login for my long-standing Docusign account is: FirstEmailAddress@host.com
 
At some point, I created a second Docusign account with: SecondEmailAddress@host.com - this account only ever had one envelope in it.
 
A couple weeks ago, I tried a combination of actions to get the SecondEmailAddress@host.com released so I can use it on my main account (i.e., would like to revise FirstEmailAddress@host.com to SecondEmailAddress@host.com).
 
First, on my secondary Docusign account, I revised my SecondEmailAddress@host.com email address to ThirdEmailAddress@host.com). That didn’t release the gmail address for re-use on Docusign.
 
Then, I deleted my secondary Docusign account. That also didn’t release my gmail address.
 
When I try to revise FirstEmailAddress@host.com to SecondEmailAddress@host.com, I get an error message: "This security information you are trying to add is already registered
 
I have waited for a couple weeks and I get the same error message every time I try.
 
Anyone have tips for how I can free up SecondEmailAddress@host.com so I can use it again on my main Docusign account? Sadly, for eSignature consumer users, Docusign doesn’t provide any way to open a case or engage with support.

 Hi ​@Ponce1000 — thanks for raising this.

 

I’m sorry that the issue is still unresolved, but to further check, we highly recommend that you submit a support case to check if the account that should be deleted has been properly deleted in the system. That way, you will be able to use the email to a different account.

If you’re having issue creating support case, kindly follow the work around below.
To submit a case without logging into your account by using the “I can’t access my account” option at the bottom of the page and providing complete details of the issue in the Case description.
