I would like to link a personal email that was used as an account that was recently cancelled. When I try to do this, I get: "There was an error while trying to add [email address] to your account."

Do I need to wait a period of time to be able to do this?

Hi Monica, 

Welcome to Box Community and glad to assist! 

Note that cancellation or deletion of your Box account will not happen immediately, but will take a short amount of time.

To add an email to your Box account, only use an email address that's not yet registered with Box. 

Thanks for posting!
