290713 - Instructions for account confirmation never arrived

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 290712

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Developer Pages, defect)

Description

[PikeUK]

Filing as unconfirmed since I'm not sure if this is actually a bug or simply a
mail problem somewhere, but I've tried the following procedure twice now.

Steps to reproduce (or, What I did to screw it up)
1. Tried to register account with e-mail [e-mail]
2. It said e-mail was in use, tried logging in with my usual passwords, no luck.
3. Pressed reset password.
4. Received a mail containing a new randomly generated password.
5. Logged in.

The page now says:

"Please check your email for instructions on how to confirm your account."

The first time I tried was 18 hours ago, the second time was 25 minutes ago, no
sign of another email and no instructions in the first email I received (I have
checked my SpamAssassin mailbox just in case).

I have no idea why the e-mail address was in use, I don't remember creating an
account any time in the past, was it even possible before now?

I was probably the one that created the account for you.  The message telling
you to confirm probably should not have been appearing.

I'm gonna dupe this to bug 290712 which is about re-sending confirmation.
