Ages ago I created a Gmail account to use, but I then deleted it.
Does anyone know if the "current email address" I typed in when setting up the account can be used again to create a completely new and separate account with a new Gmail username etc?

Best Answer
I suggest that you first create a completely new Google account (with a new GMail username, etc).
Afterwards, enter the Manage Account Information area (via Accounts, in the "Email {Edit}" section), in order to "Add a new alternate address".
According to the instructions there, "Alternate email addresses can only be associated with one Google Account at a time". This would imply that if your previous Google account was indeed deleted, then your desired alternative email address should now be free for association with your new Google account.
