I received an email from appleid@id.apple.com requesting that I verify my Apple ID and password. Is it legitmate?

Genuine emails from Apple always address you by name, not 'Dear Customer' or suchlike. Emails which tell you your Apple ID will be suspended if you don't 'verify' it are always spam. Links which appear to go to a genuine Apple page may be masked and actually go to a fake. If you want to administer your account in any way you should go directly to http://appleid.apple.com
