What is a rescue email?

A rescue email is an email address that you can set on your account which can be used for resetting your security questions if you forgot them (following steps 1 to 5 half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from would give a reset link on your account for them). If you don't have a rescue email address on your account and you forget the answers then you would need to contact Supportin your country to get them reset, you wouldn't be able to reset them on your own.
Have you forgotten your answers to your questions ?
If not, and you'd like to add a rescue email address to your account, then steps 1 to 7 half-way down the HT5312 page should let you do so

HT5312 What is my rescue email address?

I forget answers for security questions and I don't know what is my rescue email address.

If you can't correctly guess it, use the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article; if you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can assist with recovering lost answers.

What is a rescue email

what is a rescue email

I'm presently having the odd problem that, if I enter a "rescue email" that is the same as the email address already attached to my AppleID account, I get a blocking error message that the email address entered is already in use by another account.
If I just leave the "rescue email" address field blank, I can submit and proceed just fine.
Let's just say that my initial impressions of AppleID/iTunes security (and their effects on basic usability) are pretty bad...

of them.

Create a new Apple ID and use it to buy the application. You won't be able to transfer previous purchases or iTunes Store credit to the new Apple ID, nor update that application with the old one.

HT5312 verifying link of rescue email not worked

Hi. I have a link (Verify Now >) from ([email protected]) to verifying the rescue email,
But the link Not Worked ! what must i do to verify rescue email?
my apple id is desabled and i cannot send answer of security questions to my rescue email.
please help me.
<Email Edited by Host>

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
You don't need to verify the rescue email address for the reset link to show on your account. If the link isn't showing then you haven't got a rescue email address - are you sure that's what you have, not an alternate email address, which is different ? You can only add a rescue email address by answering two of your security questions, as described in steps 1 to 7 half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from.
If you can't remember your answers to your questions then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset (they should also be able reset your password and enable your account).

HT5312 I wanted my rescue email to be my primary. YEt when i entered it while editing my primary, I entered it wrong. I can't seem to edit it because it is already my rescue email and the only other email I have is supposedly already linked to my account?

I tunes has made this editing process very difficult and I just wanna know how I can make my rescue email my primary and add a differnt rescue email. What a sticky situation. None of the forums have helped.

Actually not really, remove any emails you have as rescue/recovery. Save the changes, then edit the primary

HT5622 What is a rescue email?

I cannot get pas "Resue Email" on my iphone, I don't understand what it wants me to do.

A Rescue Email is a second email address that you have. It will be used to send information should there be problems with your account that disables your primary email address.
If you do not have a second email address you can get one for free at many locations like Google, or Yahoo.
