Account creation: no activation mails received

Hi,

just wanted to raise awareness that there might be something wrong/suboptimal with how activation e-mails are sent in the account creation process.

I tried to create an account with multiple addresses hosted at different providers and never received an activation mail (not even in the spam). Finally I signed up via Google, which worked without problem.

Assuming this also happens for other people, maybe this could be fixed or at least acknowledged as a potential problem/solution in a message displayed in the process.

Best regards

I had the same issue just now.

  • I tried to log on using my Google account - but that gave a “OAuth client deleted” error.
  • I tried to create a new account with my email address, but never received the activation mails (despite checking the spam, trash… all folders)
    Finally I was able to login with my github credentials…

Given that the issue has been around for more than 9 months, somebody should give it a quick dekko…
Thanks
