"As an experiment I downloaded my entire archive"
I've wanted to do this, but in order to do it, you need to verify your email address with Twitter. Whenever I request the verification email nothing is sent or delivered. (Checked spam and everything). Twitter's support hasn't responded to my inquires, so I'm basically stuck. Anyone happen to have a solution for this?
- amorphid 10y agoUse a different email address?
- uptown 10y agoYou mean change the one associated with my account? Good idea. I'll give that a shot. Hopefully won't lock me out completely.
- uptown 10y agoThis ended up working. Thanks so much for the suggestion!
- amorphid 10y agoLOL, I was curious if it would work myself, so I tried it and posted the results. It worked for me, too :)
- ValentineC 10y agoWhat email provider were you using at first on your account?
- uptown 10y agoGMail. Only thing I can think is that at some point I may have opted out of all emails from Twitter, and somehow this got swept up in that block.
- amorphid 10y agoIf you haven't already tried it, I did. This seems to work: - Created email #1 at https://www.guerrillamail.com https://www.guerrillamail.com - Created test Twitter account using email #1, including receiving email confirmation request - Created email #2 at https://temp-mail.org/en/ https://temp-mail.org/en/ - Without confirming email #1, changed test Twitter account email to email #2 - Received email confirmation request at email #2 - And to be nice, deactivated test Twitter account :) Good luck!
- doguozkan 10y agoI'm sure you've already checked it carefully, but just in case, have you perhaps made a small typo? I'm asking because I think that would also explain the support not responding.
- uptown 10y agoYeah, there's not really a place where I could have something typed incorrectly. I get all the Twitter marketing emails, but this one, when I press the button to validate my address it just seems to go nowhere.
