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 titled WikiIndex email address confirmation will be send 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 of the past[edit]
Unfortunately there had been cases when this verification mail did not arrive in the destination mailbox even when the address supplied was valid.
- We solved this problem at 1-11-2014
The solution to this problem was
- To use another address hosted at another e-mail provider or more precisely with another domain name.
- The verification mail is now (11/2014) sent by an address from the wikiindex.org domain. Whitelisting this domain may serve the purpose if this problem reoccurs.
Here is a list of domains about which we knew if they normally received the verification mail or not:
| Domain | received |

| aol.com | yes |
