Help changing email primary

Help changing email primary

Newb that needs help please. 

I've been using zoho for my mail for quite some time. i want to change my primary email raska.prita@flashcation.com to raska@flashcation.com. 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. The verification email was sent to the 'new' address but to confirm you have to be able to check it.... which until I check with "new email address" and confirm I can't do it.

HELP PLEASE!!!!
