I can’t access the verification email when signing up to outlook.com.

I tried creating a new email account on outlook.com. Everything went well, up until the point where microsoft informed me they were going to send a verification email. The problem is that they're sending the email to the new account and I can't actually verify it from that inbox, because they won't let me get to it. I can't seem to find another way to verify that the account belongs to me either, so I don't know what to do.

I was not asked to give an alternate email address, so that's really the problem.

Thank you in advance for all help given.
