It seems unlikely that the address just...ceased existing. There must be a way to retrieve it. I knew there was an option to "set the address free", but I didn't think it was the only way to do it, and didn't think of explaining him all he had to do either.

but I asked the previous user (whose blog was abandoned) if he could delete it, and he kindly did.

Bad move. It's gone forever now.

They could have transferred it to you.

It was before, but I asked the previous user (whose blog was abandoned) if he could delete it, and he kindly did.

Is the address just temporarily unavailable? If so. How much will I have to wait until it is enabled? If it is not the case. What should I do?

Thanks in advance!
