Can't get iPad to send the "Email Verification is Required" message

Question

I am trying to share Pages and Numbers documents with iWork.com for the first time. I can log in to iWork.com from a PC and from Safari on the iPad. It says I have no shared documents, which is correct.
I then go to Pages or Numbers, get a document, and select Share via iWork.com. I then get the dialog box that says the email address must be verified. The email address it shows is a good one which it got either from the iPad mail utility, or the Apple ID/Password lookup on the server. Anyway, I press Send Email. It says "A verification email was sent", but nothing ever shows up.
There was no "whoosh" sound, and there is nothing in my iPad email Sent Items. Maybe it means that the iWorks Server sent the email, which would actually make sense.
Anyway, it ain't workin'.
I have tried many times over several hours.
Anybody have any suggestions??

Same deal with me.
I got Pages from the aps store. When I go to Share And Print/Share Via iWork.com I get the message:
"the email address [myappleid email address] must be verified before you can share documents on iWork.com beta
I tap Send email to receive a verification email and I get a message that my verification message has been sent, but there is nothing at that email address.
At first I assumed the problem is that it's a beta version. See the end of my message for my final analysis.
I am using earthlink email and checked all spam, trash, and suspect mail folders. I also did several tests from different email senders and still no verification email from Apple.
I am able to sign in to the iwork beta website using my apple id at:https://www.iwork.com/shareddocuments but the message says I have no shared documents presumably because I am not getting the verification email.
Iposted this issue at the iworks discussion forum and they suggested I post here at the icloud discussions. After posting some followup details on the iwork forum (the I encounterd are all assimilated in this post)  I went to my icloud account and discovered that:
The odd thing is that there seems to be two iworks:
https://www.iwork.com
This opens to the beta version I mentioned that's supposed to be a way to share Pages documents with other users.
and
https://www.icloud.com/#iwork
This is what I get when I log into icloud. I suppose it's the icloud backup for Pages documents. 
Still no documents at either location...
Yesterday I saw my other PDF documents at my icloud account but they now seem to be replaced by an empty iworks folder.
Something is definitely happening at the Apple development level and as usual nobody is talking...
Just to be clear I looked for the verification message in my earthlink webmail and my mail server on all three devices (laptop, iphone, and ipad). So it's not just the email verification issue but the whole configuration between icloud, iwork beta AND the iwork website. I did buy the iwork suite but that is not the point, right? I suspect Apple is conflicted over how to charge for the iwork package while including the technology it as part of the icloud service.
...but what do I know?
