why won't alternate emails 'VERIFY' to my Apple ID account ?

Where are you hitting 'verify'? On appleid.apple.com, or in the email that you received?

I never receive the ever so important verification email from apple, no matter how many times I hit the verify area.

Check your spam/junk mail.

Try checking your emails on a different web browser and then try verify the alternate email again.

This doesn't help me at all... The is no verification email being sent to me anywhere.

Same issue. Try to verify secondary email address and the email never arrives. Nothing in spam and all other emails to same account are fine. Poor.

Same problem here, I've added an alternate email and when I click "verify now" nothing happens. I tried many times from my ipad and from the Apple ID site but I'm not receiving the verification email...

I have the SAME problem - I have added other alternate emails and they are fine - but this last time it wouldn't work (?????) is there a restriction to using an email of someone under a certain age?

It is not possible to tell a persons age by their email address 😉

same problem. Guess no one at Apple cares anymore since Jos is no longer around

Ditto. When I click to get verification, no email arrives. Yes, I have checked all junk & spam folders.

I am getting same problem

I have two Apple ID's and my email addresses have been verified with no problem on one of them, but I cannot get them to be verified on the other. Could it be that you can only use a specific email address as rescue email on one Apple ID but you cannot use that very same rescue email on any other?

I hate my verification email it won't even let my verify my Apple ID I ******* want it to work but it won't ******* work so can I have some ****** help plz peace out
