Should we prevent sending email to unverfiied emails? (optionally)

If verification is on and required, I think this is expected behavior in order to avoid emails ending up in wrong person's inbox. Why not just force it when verification is turned on?

How should the patron import behave here? Checkbox for sending out verification emails vs. importing them as "verified"?

Having a choice for import is a good idea. We should also discuss what happens when this feature is applied. Send verification to everyone or consider existing patron emails verified? Also, we should keep using their old email for messaging until patron has verified the new one. So this requires some thought for the design. Perhaps the whole messaging system should be redesigned so that patron can add n number of email addresses (that can actually be used for messaging according to patron's choice) instead of the so-confusing email, emailpro, B_email and so on. But maybe this is outside the scope of this Bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

Dead e-mails are a pain to deal with.

It would be great if e-mail notifications were verified, regardless of registering online or in person. If an e-mail address is entered by staff, Koha should have a flag to indicate if the address has been verified. When an account is saved or updated, it should check if an e-mail address has been entered. If so, if it has not been verified, it should send a verification e-mail to the address. When the patron receives it, they should have to click something or login to complete the verification. The address is marked in their account as verified. If the address is changed at all, they have to re-verify.

Staff who receive notice that the e-mail has problems (dead, full, etc) should have a flag they can set on the account to mark the address as bad, and the reason why. The patron would then have to supply a new e-mail address and verify again. While the account is flagged with a bad e-mail, notifications to that address should be turned off. If they have another form of notification, Koha could send them a notification that the e-mail address they supplied is no longer working, and needs to be corrected.

This is something I've been saying for years. I haven't found an existing bug for it, but I also haven't looked super heard. Interesting that people used to pack multiple emails into some of these email fields though (see Bug 16786). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
