Many people live in their web browsers, which includes reading e-mail. The
debatable gain of not going through web browser disappears here.
Then, your prospective users need to learn about your service and how to sign
up from somewhere, likely from a web page. You'll just make them go from web
browser to e-mail client earlier, that's all.
And last, not many services have e-mail-only signups, so the process may be
somewhat surprising and misleading.

- dozzie 10y agoIf you're worried about that, provide both ways of confirming the activation: replying to the e-mail and clicking a link. But the switch from web browser to e-mail client will still be there, unless you think up something different.
