Apple Push Certificate Portal

I am at the Apple Push Certificate Portal site to try to create a cert, Since this is my first time to do this process the Apple site gives me this message:

"The email address associated with your Apple ID must be verified before you may acquire a certificate. Please check your inbox for a confirmation message and follow the instructions to verify your email address."

I wait and wait but the email never comes. Has anyone have this problem before? Is this all Apple's problem?

Thanks.
