I Am Trying To Change My Email For My Craigslist Account, I Thought I Did?

The old email address keeps coming up when I try to access my account. I changed my email on craigslist and password, I have to keep doing that every time I post. If i try to create a new account, they say that email is already used, YES iI IS MINE, I HAVE USED IT, I JUST WANT TO CONTINUE TO USE IT, and have it come up when I click on my account. Very frustrating.

Sorry for your problems. In recent years Craigslist has increasingly taken actions which have no discernible rational basis. My best advice is to create a new account with a different email address. If you choose Gmail, it will on your instructions forward all incoming mail to your primary email address.
