I didn't plan to write anything more on this subject, but I wanted to leave it with one more post.
I was able to create an account very easily, just by using an email account from a different domain. It's from vivaldi.net, in fact, an account I created a while ago in case I ever needed it. Looks like I finally did.
I haven't a clue why Element's email couldn't be delivered to my wetgeek.net account. That shouldn't have happened. When I used the vivaldi.net address, it arrived immediately, and there were no further issues. Thanks to anyone and everyone who helped me with this.
