Help:E-mail verification
At the time of account creation or any time after your account is validated you can add your E-mail address. In order to use this address in connection with this wiki it must be verified that you got access to the corresponding mailbox. For this purpose a verification mail titeled WikiIndex email address confirmation is sent to the supplied address. This verification mail provides a link to the verification procedure. If you follow (click) this link, your address gets verified and you will see a message on the called up page: Your email address has now been confirmed.
Known problems
Unfortunately there are cases when this verification mail does not arrive in the destination mailbox even when the address supplied was valid.
The solution to this problem is
- to use another address hosted at another e-mail provider or more precisely with another domain name.
- The verification mail is sent by an address from the gmail.com domain. Whitelisting this domain may serve the purpose.
