I've been using zoho for my mail for quite some time. I have several emails but I (misspelled one ). It of course works just fine but I need to correct it so I don't appear to be that dumb. 

so I followed the instructions here https://help.zoho.com/portal/helpcenter/articles/how-to-change-the-primary-email-address-in-zoho-26-9-2015

It seems to work except it seems that you have to verify the new email before you can use it ....so I'm lost. I'm sure this is really simple but I'm missing it. The verification email was sent to the 'new' address but to confirm you have to be able to check it.... which until I check and confirm I can't do....I'm lost... it seems circular to me! 

HELP PLEASE!!!!
