I am trying to set up a new account. Your system says it sent email with password. Have not received, not in spam folder etc. Don't want to put my email and user name on the forum. My question is how long do I need to wait for this email?

The email is being sent within 1-2 minutes.
I have no control over it once it was received on your side.

If you don't want to share any information on the forum, then why did you contact here if you know nothing can be checked or looked up?
Please use the direct contact link instead so it can be addressed properly. Make sure you add your username and the email you used.
