Unable to login to Sync account. Email is not being delivered to confirm anything (known good email).
Right now I'm dead in the water with no way to go on this. When I attempt to manage my sync account, I enter the password, and I receive a message stating that "Your email was just returned. Mistyped email?" This is happening on all devices that I attempt to login from. I have used this sync account in multiple places for years, and currently have it in use on at least 6 other devices. I've never had an issue setting up or logging into the account until today.
The email account in question has been setup as a forward-only email account for years, but I even changed it to no longer forward and so far I have not been able to receive anything in the email box from Mozilla. I've confirmed the mailbox works otherwise, and I'm logged into it. There's nothing in the spam folder. I know I am not mistyping the email address, so I don't know what is wrong here.
I get the same message when I log into the forum account that uses the same email address. To open this question, I had to register a new account with a different email/username just to get to this point. At this point I'm stuck in a unrecoverable state for that account (jason.blalock@cox.net).

Did your sync account work fine with the email before?
Hi Dark_Schneider !
I have forwarded your post to an Administrator - it may take a while before you get a response, though (different time zones).
Meanwhile : hang in there - help is on it's way.

No worries. For now, I just created a new account and I've synced over everything to it, but I would still like to find out what is preventing me from using the other account.
Dark_Schneidr, I know that this does not solve the original issue, however there is a feature that has come to beta, I believe release as well, that gives the option to add a secondary email address to your account.
Firefox 54 comes out in a little over a week, so this feature will become available to you pretty quickly, while we do further investigation.
In the meantime I would recommend adding the previous email as the secondary account when Firefox 54 comes to launch.
In the meantime, please cc yourself in the bug I filed on your behalf: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1369808
