Hello,
Once you use an email address for a sandbox account, even if you remove that account from your developer account, you cannot re-use the email address again.
You can use any email address / domain name combination, it does not need to be a "real world" email address, so you can make something up such as "sandbox@samertaha.com" and it will be accepted once the email address has not been used on sandbox account before.
Was my post helpful? If so, please give me a kudos!
