Suggestion: using the [Mailcheck](https://github.com/mailcheck/mailcheck) plugin during signup should help ensure that users get their initial signup email:

Provided we could incur the dependency only on the login / signup dialog load, I support this. Bad email entry is pretty traumatic.

A user tried to register twice with [...@gmai.com](mailto:...@gmai.com) today 👴 👵

I think allowing editing of email before confirmation is complete, would be better here.

Yesterday I checked in a nice feature to handle this:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/40ab2e56677625ee2d97ea7cce1607c521f38fbb](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/40ab2e56677625ee2d97ea7cce1607c521f38fbb)

If you typo’d your email address, simply log in again and you’ll see this:

Clicking “Change Email Address” gives you this form:

This is an elegant way to handle this. Cheers!
