Help:Email confirmation

Saintapedia requires that users confirm their email addresses before they can use email features. This helps to prevent problems with bad addresses, such as bounced replies. You only need to confirm email addresses to use the email system.

See Help:Getting started with Saintapedia#Step 3 - Email confirmation for additional details.

Confirmation

Status

You can check your address confirmation status in your preferences. If you change your email address, you will automatically be sent a new confirmation email.

How to confirm

1. From your preferences, go to the section entitled User profile, and scroll down to Email, if desired check the box next to Enable e-mail from other users.
2. Click the button in that section; an email will be sent to your email address with a confirmation link. If you see no link, go to Special:ConfirmEmail. If that page starts with "Your e-mail address was confirmed on <date>", then you're already confirmed.
3. When you receive the email, click the link it contains to confirm that you own the email address.
