Me: Hello, IT Support? I can't use your system because as I log in I can't bypass a form saying I must confirm my email. But I haven't received any confirmation email. Can you resend it?

Support: We can't resend it, you have to do that yourself. What's your email?

Me: it's <blahblah>.gmail.com

Support: have you checked Junk?

Me: I sure have!

Support: Then please restart your computer and the email should come

Me: ....................
Me: have a nice day

    Fuck, I guess you rage quit the conversation. But then what?

    @horus I didn't _rage_quit it. I just quit it.

    I have sent them an email explaining what's going on, hoping someone else would see it.

    They say it takes ~3 days for them to respond to emails.

    oh well.. I'm stuck either way. It's not really my job to educate their support on how emails are sent.

    @netikras If the restart doesn’t help, please reinstall Windows.
    What do you mean, you don’t use Windows?

    @Lensflare If reinstalling Windows doesn't work, consider buying a new laptop.

    If buying a new laptop doesn't work, consider buying a new house with wifi installed in it.

    I rage quit quite frequently such conversations. But it doesn't help.

    someone might have forgotten to check the logs on the mail relay for bounces of gmail.com addresses in recent history.

    Google pimped its security protocols regarding SPF records 'n stuff a while ago.
