Is Google blocking the verification email sent by Apple's iCloud system?

I have tried resending the verification email 6 times with clean up of spam mail and then going through the spam to see if the mail went to spam. I found the iCloud terms and conditions mail in the spam!

Is the verification mail being blocked at mail servers?

Anyone else with same experience?

It looks like the problem is on Apple's end.

From this link on apple support: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40 I clicked on Manage my ID and logged in with my apple id. It showed a link to verify. The link did not work from both IE and Chrome.

Looks like a problem on their end.

Finally solved it. I had two accounts at apple one with my email adders and another with a simple string. They both had the same email address registered. Apple was not sending verification email until I changed the simple string one to use a different email address.

Symptom of the problem: iCloud verification email did not arrive in my inbox.
