How long before domain verification?

How long before domain verification?

Hello,

I just set up an email account with my domain name and did what it said to verify it so I can set up some email accounts.

However, when I log in to my control panel I can see that it is still saying 'Status - ! Validate'  even though I did what it told me to do to validate it.

Has something gone wrong?

Thanks,

Daniel.
