I have a reasonable proportion of users, largely hotmail or aol-mail users, who are unable to receive the Discourse confirmation email.

For users who don’t have multiple emails, this can make successfully log in a burden.

Is there a way to confirm a user manually, such as in the case that they’re unable to receive a confirmation email?

Thanks!

Yes, here is your solution:

1. Go to the users admin page
2. Scroll down untill you are in the `permissions`
3. and then press `activate account`
