email verification not received

I am an academic user and applied for a new account on ROSIE. There was no mention of restrictions on email address, e.g. that an academic email had to be used.

I input my preferred external gmail account, ethanwilltaylor@gmail.com, but have not received verification emails or error messages saying that address is invalid.

Can you clarify this or otherwise validate this email address?

Thanks for your help,
