As others have posted in the past, I have never been able to receive Plex verification emails. I can receive other Plex emails and just received one notifying me of a data breach. While changing my password, I noticed that 2 factor authentication was recommended but is impossible to set up without verifying my email. I am not using Microsoft mail; I realize others have indicated that this might cause issues.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks, I will wait, however, I have tried this many times in the past and have never been able to receive one. I have given up each time.
Look in the SPAM folder(s)
Hello, same issue as PITSKER, here too. I was never able to verify my email. Could some please help me out. Thanks for the service and have a nice day.
Did and nothing in spam folder. 
Your IP is currently temporarily blocked, due to too many actions and attempts at once. Please wait 24 hours, then try again.

Thank you & have a great day.
I should have mentioned; nothing in spam folder. Is it my IP that is temporarily blocked, or the other user?
11 hours in, still no emails. Something is seriously broken here Plex team.
No, you are not affected by a block.
You have not requested a password reset via the flow which triggers an email.
Only the notification email about the incident was sent to your account email address.
I have same problem. Haven’t received verification e-mail. Not in spam or anywhere
There was no request for a verification email registered in your account.
Keep in mind that plex.tv had/has some issues today.
Same experience here. I tried to verify my email originally when the 2-factor was first offered and suggested, but was never able to and have up: no email came to either my inbox or junk folders. Happening again today.
*** UPDATE - just got an email and was able to verify as well as enable 2 factor. I use yahoo, btw
Same. They told me to wait because their email system is busy but I have tried to authenticate my email several times in the past and never get the email. Not in spam or junk either. Other emails from plex arrive fine to my email. I am on an aol email address but other have said it doesn’t work on gmail as well so I don’t think its provider related.
I’ve been trying to verify my email with plex for 4 years. The verification email simply never arrives to my gmail account and never shows up in spam. Every other email including the recent data breach and the new sign-in to my account after changing my password always arrives very timely in my inbox. It’s as if the verification system just doesn’t work with gmail (or my specific address) for some reason.
not working on private domain email acounts. emal verification works on gmail accounts,
The simplest explanation is that your private email domain employs a different anti SPAM rule set (compared to Google’s). Thus, it suppresses the emails from plex from reaching your inbox.
Well, not sure what went right, but I did finally receive a verification email and successfully verified. Thanks Otto, if you had a hand in this!
