Recently active topics in Twitter tagged with change email address

I have deleted one twitter account that used my email address. Started a new account, but will not let me use old email address. Says that the old account is deleted, so why can't I use this email address for my new account. Says error: email can not be already in use.

I no longer have access to the email address I signed up with so I can't receive the reset password email. Is there a way to have that email forwarded to my new account?

misspelled my email address when signing up...trying to change it in Settings..it wont let me ?
