Q: son deleted my verification email.  how co I now verify my device?

Hello tggr2,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

If you have accidentally deleted the verification email and are unable to retreive it, you can simply have the email resent if you follow the directions outlined below.

Resend the email

To resend a reset email, repeat the steps to reset your password or security questions, and we'll send an email to your rescue or primary Apple ID email address.

To resend the verification email, go to My Apple ID, select Manage your Apple ID, then sign in. Click Resend next to the email address that you want to verify, and we'll send an email to that address.

If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support

Take care,

Alex H.
