I just made a new iMessage account and it then asks me to verify my email

[iMore Question]

I didn't use my proper email, so how am I still meant to verify it?

Use a legitimate email address.

Welcome to iMore! As already stated, you'll need to use a real email address. There's a reason Apple has a verification process.
