Verifying email

I completed the setup. It then said to go to my email
address and click the first link in the mail they were
going to send me so I could verify my address. The mail
has never come. I tried clicking the link in messenger
to verify email and again it gives the same instructions
so again I go to my mail box and no mail. What gives?

Greetings,

Sometimes the verification e-mail takes up to 48 hours to arrive. If it still hasn't arrived,
you can request another one at Passport Services:

It seems that the thread for this has disappeared. Here it is again.

I'm having the same problem and I check my MSN Hotmail account daily. The
problem seems to have started for me on Monday. I've had the feature work
fine for months before that.
