I'm trying to add an alternative email address to our admin account as no one has access to that email address. When the verification is sent to the alternative account I click it and it still shows as unverified still in the account. Can someone please help?

      Hi there, 

      Welcome to Box Community and glad to help! 

      To keep your information private and secured we've removed your email address from this post. Going forward, please refrain from posting your personal data in the forum. 

      Meanwhile, for your verification email issues, please check the following: 

      • Check your Spam/Junk email folder. Sometimes, certain email clients do not recognize email from box.com. If you find Box messages in your Spam or Junk folder, add noreply@box.com to your email contacts, or Safe senders list. This will allow your mail client to recognize Box emails and deliver them to your Inbox.
      • Firewall, Content Filter, or Email Security Policy: Check if your firewall or virus scan is blocking the email notifications. Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or Corporate IT department and ask that emails from the following domains be added to the email allow list (safe sender) to ensure that Box messages are not blocked.
        • box.com
        • notify.box.com
        • reply.box.com
        • track.box.com
      • Incorrectly typed email address: Is the sender using your correct email address? Just one mistyped letter will cause an email to go to the wrong address or make it undeliverable. Ask them to double-check that they entered your address correctly.
      • Email on suppression list: If Box notifications ever bounce, emails are automatically added to our suppression list. Open a case with the support team to check the affected email address(es).

       

      Note: Box "batches" email notifications before sending them out. This means an email may not be sent immediately after an action occurs. When multiple actions are batched/grouped into a single notification, the subject of the email will have the title of the top level folder. This does not apply to Password Reset emails or Email Confirmation links.

      In reference to this, please visit our article,"Troubleshooting Issues with Email Notifications" 

      Hope it helps!
