I need to validate my email address, for a brand new Apple ID.

I finally got my email address verified. As best I can tell I needed to go through the steps fairly quickly.

Click on "Verify now" link in an email with subject "Verify your email or phone number."

Entered my Apple Account ID (email address) and password.

The next screen said a code was sent to my devices. (But my device is not set up.)

I clicked on "No access to devices".

The next screen offered an option of sending the code as a text message to my phone.

I clicked on that option.

I received a text message on my phone with the 6 digit code.

I entered the 6 digit code.

The next screen said my email address was verified.

What is the local standard to flag this problem solved?

I just received the introductory "Hello form the Apple Support Community"email at my email address.

Yesterday I received a "Verify your email address" email, on my email account with a six digit code to verify my email address. It has not worked.

I did check the spam folder.

I did not see an email notifying me of your post, as I should have. What is the email address of the sender of those emails?
