Linden Lab and Second Life use e-mail in a wide variety of ways, from direct e-mail campaigns informing users of promotions, etc., through the users having a means to obtain IMs sent to them while they are not logged-in (and even reply to them within a certain time constraint).<\/p>\n

However, many people sign-up to Second Life, either with new accounts or additional accounts, and offer e-mail addresses which are either made up, or unused. The former is a particular problem for the Lab, as it creates additional traffic passing through ISPs, which can mark the Lab as a purveyor of \u201cspam\u201d.<\/p>\n

To try to reduce this problem, the Lab recently introduced e-mail verification. When you sign-up to Second Life, the e-mail account provided will receive a request to verify it (the usual click-on-the-link approach); if you change the e-mail address, you will receive a similar verification request.<\/p>\n

In addition, there is also an option within the Change Email Settings of your Second Life dashboard where you can have your e-mail verified without<\/em> having to change your e-mail address.<\/p>\n

This is important because, starting in the very near future, the Lab will be making changes to their e-mail service which will eventually mean that outgoing e-mails will not be sent to any unverified e-mail addresses.<\/p>\n

So, if you want to be sure you continue to receive SL-related e-mails \u2013 such as IMs to e-mail or Marketplace information sent to your e-mail as a Merchant, etc., \u2013 it is important you ensure the e-mail you use with Second Life is verified.<\/p>\n
