While creating a test user, I don't remember I received a confirmation email.

Anyway, if by mistake one delete its confirmation email, it is impossible to login nor to ask for a new password nor create a new account with the same email address. It should be possible to ask again for account verification from the login portal

Just ran into a slight twist on this problem while also creating a test account:

Create account
⚠️ "The mail configuration is incomplete or invalid"
Fix mail configuration
Create account
⚠️ "An account already exists using this email address."
Try to log in
⚠️ "You must verify your account before your can login."

An account should not be created in situations where the system knows a verification mail is required, but that the mail configuration is not sufficient.

And, yes, it would be handy to be able to re-request verification from the login portal, even a failed delivery would presumably render the account a zombie forever.
