Can't get swtor to send validation email.

I've tried several times on several different email addresses to get a validation with no luck. I can't get a response email from SWTOR to validate. I've even tried threw my phone in case it was my computer messing up. i type in the email address, page says wait for email to come in it will take a few mins, but no email ever comes.

Yahoo didn't work. Hotmail didn't work. Gmail DID work but when i hit "validate" i get a message. "An error has occurred" .

any clues or suggestions?

What you can do is reset the password on the prior account you mentioned, change email on that account to a throwaway email address, which should free up the email to use on your primary account.

Did you try doing the option to send a display name to your email using the "Forgot your Display Name" option? Do you receive one?

No, honestly I got mad and started playing The Outer Worlds, and I got back to my e-mail maybe an hour later with 15 Validation emails.

There are no known issues sending validation emails , however why its not arriving is the unknown ( spam/junk folder ? )

if this is just the validation email you can update the email used to another and see if it arrives, once the account is validated you can in theory change back to the original email used

This worked for me. It finally sent the email when I used googlemail.com instead of gmail.com. Weird how that works
