Q: Not getting iCloud verification email
I'm not getting verification email for setting up iCloud account. No trouble using my appleID for iTunes or AppStore, and I double checked that I typed it correctly. I have also checked junk mail folder and tried resending verification multiple times. Nothing arrives in my mail box.
iCloud, Mac OS X (10.7.1), Actually 10.7.2, but wasn't listed

Just to nip this thread, someone solved it in another discussion:

I think I have sorted out the problem!!!
It turns out that I have 4 Apple IDs that I have collected over the years. 2 for iTunes accounts (one US and one UK) 1 for Mobile Me and 1 for use on this discussion forum.
At least 2 of these accounts had the same contact email and this happens to be the one I'm trying to verify with iCloud for iOS5. This seems to confuse Apple and rather than telling me that the email address is associated with 2 Apple IDs, it just fails to send the verification mail.
My advice would to use the "I've forgotten my User ID" to recover what IDs you have and verify your mail from in there. If your address is associated with more than 1 ID, you get told here. Sort out your addresses so that you only have 1 per Apple ID and go from there...
