My first attempt to create this sync account was with a new alias address that had not propagated through yet. but it has now and is fully functional, but I still get the 'red box' error: "Your email was just returned. Mistyped email?"

I tried refreshing the page and starting over. Didn't work. Did you guys stash that email on some "bad email" list because of the initial bounce?

Thanks, Paul

I had used this same email address to create this community account to sign in and make this forum post. so in that process i was sent a verification email, and clicked the link.

now, when I try to create a sync account, it states that this sync account is blocked. and to contact you to unlock it.

I did find a forum post that I need to re-click the original email verification link from the sync account creation process. but I never received that email.

When I click the verification link that was sent to create this community account to make this forum post, it states that the account is already activated.
