Unable to Verify Apple ID - Email account is not accessible

I have 2 Apple IDs.


I've updated my iPad and iPhone to IOS5, and now I am unable to verify my Apple ID that I use for purchases.


For this Apple ID, I used an email address that is no longer accessible to verify the ID.


I have a money in this account from iTune gift cards, and I would like to use it for purchases.


How can I verify an Apple ID without access to the email account?

I too am having the same problem. I recently updated my iPad mini and i cant update my apps or purchase anything because i am unable to veify my Apple ID. I know my e-mail is correct as well as my password. After typing in my password as always before i update/download, it now says "You have not verified your AppleID." Tap OK to review the instructions on how to verify your Apple ID. Once i do that it takes me to the Email Verification window that states; "An email has been sent to address below with a link to verify your Apple ID, but i never receive anything. Ive been trying this for the past 5 hours and still no e-mail. What is going on??? I NEED HELP!!!

I didn't receive the verification email at first either, I clicked 'send email again' for 10 times but nothing happened. The next day I had received the verification email (all ten of them) with 'verify now' option but, again, when I clicked it nothing happened (a page that didn't load opened). I tried it many times during the day, still nothing. Once again, the next day the 'verify now' link worked… So I guess it can be a three day process.
