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

I don't understand either!!! They won't send my verification email, but I get one from them right away telling me that they're calling me at a certain time to check and see if I have gotten an email yet!!! Ugh!! So frustrating!!!!!!!

Thanks Favot. A perfectly ridiculous problem, but your solution worked.

I couldn't even change my email back to the original - got all the "your account has been changed" messages just fine at all addresses, but could not get the account verification message to my original email address ever. I did get the verification email for the new address, but it did go into my spam folder (unlike all the other messages from Apple).

Very frustrating.

I actually have this same issue and have a support case open with Apple. Great engineer I am working with, but still no resolution. I have been trying for almost a month to get a viable AppleID. In my case, it is an alias of my corporate mail account. I have asked if this was the issue, and told no, but I am suspect. However, I have created a completely new mailbox and the same behavior occurs. Frustrating.

I have tried this several times, on a number of days, and am still not receiving a vertification email. I have now reset the password and still no verification email. I did receive the 'welcome to the apple support communities email.

What next?

You are not the only one Apple can't email. I purchased Mountain Lion from the online Apple store and while I can get automated email responses to my email address, direct emails from support and the actual license & link emails don't arrive (yes, I checked junk mail). The email address is correct - verified with three different people. People who do not work for Apple are able to reach me using it.

Today an Apple support person asked for an alternative email to contact me, and it worked. Could they have some kind of filter in place for outgoing mail? It can't be a spam filter on my email address, because it's a personal domain.

I made my purchase 3/29 and won't get my email link until tomorrow according to support, so this is a significant problem as far as I'm concerned. I wish Apple would fix it.

Ok guys, here's the fix. YOu have to log on to your apple id account and change your rescue email to be the same as the email that you want verified. They have to match. That will fix the issue. As soon as I did that, I got an email in seconds and was able to verift the email. Hope it helps.

I can't purchase anything through Itunes. This will be my first time and so I was asked to answer two of my security questions but I don't remember the answers to them. I've requested for Apple to send me the email for instructions on how to reset my security questions but I haven't received them.

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.

Yep, I don't get that either. I can still send and receive emails to my various accounts, but I cannot get the verification email at all.

And I get this...

And can't verify the email... DANG it!
