ESO Account page email verification problem

hi guys, posting this for a friend as she cant :

Hi,

In December my billing details changed due to my card expiring and getting a new card. I tried logging on to my account on elderscrollsonline.com and i get the normal "new device and account verification" popup that should trigger an email to my email address, but what i don't get is the email. I've followed all the steps here: https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/6771/kw/verification email and nothing. Since i can not verify my account, i cant log in to the help page either to raise a ticket. I did raise a ticket on Friday, 1st of January in-game, so far no responses. I found a help phone number that i called to, only to get the automated response sending me back to the help forum that i can not log in to. I've opened 2 tickets with my email provider as well to investigate from their side if they are blocking eso emails, so far no responses. I'm between a rock and a hard place. I want to give you guys money and play endgame content and there is absolutely no way to contact you to get help in this issue.
Can you at least change my email alias to an alternate one so i could log on to my account and give you guys some money finally and stop hitting my keyboard against the wall?

    Check your spam folder(s) - as it is s noreply kind of email, some spam filters just push it into the spam folder.

    I had this same exact problem and I was using Yahoo mail... thankfully I was able to get ESO customer support to switch to my other Gmail e-mail account and I haven't had a problem since. For whatever reason, Yahoo one day just stopped receiving those specific verification e-mails and there was nothing in my spam folder and no settings were blocking it... since I switched my account to Gmail, I've never had a problem.

    Strange... Gmail has always worked for me... albeit sometimes there is a delay but usually only a few minutes.

    Really no response from any admin? It's not really a big ask is it? Currently my friend cannot pay for content surely it shouldn't be too difficult for one of you to atleast respond with what her next step should be? How difficult can this be?

    Very disappointing if you just completly ignore be issue
