Re-sent confirmation emails

Gmail registered users

I hit the following issue with gmail users: any mail sent from the hosting machine by the mail command to a gmail domain is dropped silently.

I solved the issue by connecting a third-party smtp server.

So now, is there any way or a magic order to re-send the registration email to users at once ?

Or, maybe, to fully register manually the accounts ?

Unfortunately there's no such feature built into Flarum.

If an email didn't arrive, the user is expected to login and click the re-send link in the banner at the top of the page, or use the password reset page.

One option would be to extract all email addresses and manually send a message from an external email client or newsletter generator to send the link to the password reset page to every affected user.

You can visit a user profile to manually approve the account. But you'll never know if the email was really valid in that case.

Thanks for your answer.

You can visit a user profile to manually approve the account.

I did not find out how to manually approve the account from the profile page ?

Additionally, is there any document about the database schema, to display the user accounts that are still waiting for confirmation ?

Ok, thanks, I found the accurate button. 🙂

In case anyone finds this discussion in the future, the button to manually approve an account is in the edit user modal which is accessible through the 3-dot menu on a user profile.

The database column used to handle account activation is is_email_confirmed (boolean).
