This helps to prevent problems with bad addresses or spam. You only need to confirm email addresses to use the email system; you can log in and edit pages without confirming your address. You are not even required to enter an email address to register; it is optional. (However, [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]] are expected to have a confirmed email address.)</ins> </div> <div class="mw-diff-inline-added mw-diff-empty-line"> <ins title="Content added"> </ins> </div> <div class="mw-diff-inline-added"> <ins title="Content added">== Confirmation ==</ins> </div> <div class="mw-diff-inline-added"> <ins title="Content added">=== Status ===</ins> </div> <div class="mw-diff-inline-added"> <ins title="Content added">You can check your address confirmation status in [[Special:Preferences|your preferences]]. If your account was registered prior to March 2, 2006 (when confirmation was enforced), your existing address (if any) has ''not'' been automatically confirmed.

On the web, you can use [http://www.mxtoolbox.com/ mxtoolbox.com].
