Mastodon: Add ability to change email address.

Because I'm silly and used the wrong one when I signed up.

[Gargron]

Use this form

May be useful for that form to be linked to from somewhere else on the site. (Preferences page, maybe?)

What if the problem is that you've registered with a wrong wrong email ? I actually registered using gmail.oom, so now I'm stuck without the ability to log in, because I can't receive the confirmation mail, meaning I can't change the mail. I could sign up again using the right address, but my username is already taken now :(

@Euregan I'm having the same issue, have you found a solution?

[Euregan]

Alas ! No :(

[Gargron]

The solution is to e-mail your admin (contact address on /about/more page) and ask them to fix it for you or to manually confirm it so you can login with the wrong e-mail and then fix it yourself from the settings.

[Euregan]

Good to know, thanks !

[fcayre]

In my case, the email address is invalid, so the only solution is to email the instance's admin I guess. Thanks.

@Gargron would you be against a change which adds the ability to change email from admin panel? Presently having to do this via the CLI adds extra overhead — ideally we don't need to log into servers to perform minor account updates such as this.

I got the same issue with another instance. I gave wrong email , and then i couldn create another account because the username was assumed taken!! Shouldnt that happen after a confirmation? Like a unified transaction ?
