no confirmation mail

Hello,

I tried to register to openstreetmap and it tells me that I will receive a confirmation mail but it seems there is none sent, and yes I checked my junk folder ;).

I get: "We sent you a confirmation email. Confirm your account by clicking on the link in the email and you'll be able to start mapping. If you need us to resend the confirmation email, click here."

I've tried it several times (over the last 12 hours!) by clicking the "click here" URL and always get the same screen but no confirmation mail?

The used mail address is no fake address, it's an official one at "t-online.de". I tried to do the sign in procedure again but this is blocked with mail/name "has already been taken", so the system really knows the information already.

Maybe it's because the chosen user name starts with a number? I would change it if possible but I cannot use my default mail address anymore :(

Any idea what I'm doing wrong or how it can be fixed?

Thanks and best regards!

By the way beeing able to ask this question I created this dummy account with fake email address and it worked immediately, LOL!
