完了Registered users should have a way to get a new action email
0%
説明
This issue is related to Redmine.org specifically, although I presume that it could impact Redmine installations of the same version.
I had attempted to register an account at Redmine.org, but did not receive the account activation message. Several days later, and for a couple months after that, I would try both submitting a forgotten password request and setting up a new account.
Attempts to create the account again resulted in an error screen where the username and email address were taken. Attempts to submit a forgotten password request resulted in an error screen where the email address was not recognized. Effectively, my email address was locked out from Redmine.org.
On the bug reporting side, this looks to be a minor issue that would not occur frequently. I presume that Redmine.org did send an activation email and that I just did not receive it. (Probably forgot to check the spam folder or something.) The question is just how one view in Redmine finds the email address but another view does not (or at least reports that it does not find the address).
On the things-I'd-actually-like-fixed side, I would like to make use of my regular work email address. Is that possible?

Your account exists but is not activated, so you can't register another account with the same email address and you can't use the "Forgot password" feature because your account is not active. Maybe we could handle this situation : if a user who is not yet activated tries to login (with the appropriate password), we could display a message explaining that his account is not activated and give him the option to send a new activation email. Doesn't seem to be hard to implement, what do you think?

Agreed, and same if he "forgot his password"?

Either of these options, or both, provide means of getting an email address out of limbo. I might lean toward putting this with the "Forgot password" feature; if someone has the email address, I suppose he or she ought to be able to set up an account with it whether or not they know the password.
I'm surprised you're giving attention to such a narrow, uncommon unintended consequence of the account creation system—I hesitate to even call this a real bug. Many thanks.

Not a real bug indeed and I'm marking it as a feature, but this situation deserved to be handled more gracefully. r11946 lets registered users get a new activation email when trying to login or using the lost password feature.
Thanks for your feedback.
