Can't verify Apple ID! NO email is sent??

I have to verify my Apple ID but Im not receiving any mail.

Tried 2 accounts, no spam, no where else.


Tried to login into iCloud, nothing works.

I don't get ANY verification mail.


Any one any idea?

Didn't want to, but I did what Favot suggested (easy for me since I manage my own domain) and it worked. However, it's totally ridiculous (and incompetent) that this issue has not been resolved by Apple. It's not hard to tell a person that the email address is associated with multiple IDs and what they can do about it. Instead, Apple, in its great wisdom and infallibility has deemed that the appropriate response is no response at all. No warning, no hint, no error, nothing. It just doesn't work. I call that arrogance and incompetence. Apple's attitude is "who cares."

I had the same problem. After much frustration, I found that I had two other, older Apple IDs (not email addresses) that used the the same email address as the one I was trying to create/convert my Apple ID to. Click on the link "Find Out" on the My Apple ID page to see if you have other Apple IDs associated with a particular email address. You need to log in to manage each unused Apple ID and change the associated email to something else; don't worry about verification. You can then sucessfully create and verify your desired email address as a new Apple ID and use it for iCloud, App Store . . .Don't Know!

Similar situation here. I am trying to add another email address to my Apple account but the verification email does not come through. I have no filters in place. Opened a ticket with Microsoft to verify the email address (Outlook/Hotmail) is 'clear', they see nothing preventing emails from coming through. Ran a Fiddlercap session to record traffic and nothing from Apple appeared.. Without the verification email,I will have difficulty transferring apps and music to my new laptop and syncing to other Apple devices. I am frustrated over this whole experience.
