AI Auto Free has designed a dual-channel email verification system, each with its own advantages depending on the usage scenario:
1. Provisional mail programme
- Principle: call third-party disposable mailbox service API (e.g. temp-mail.org)
- Benefits: no real email required, completely anonymized operation
- Limitations: Some service provider IPs may be blocked by IDE vendors
- Applicable scenarios: short-term research and testing, when the network environment is good
2. IMAP protocol program
- Principle: Connect to a real mailbox server through standard mail protocols.
- Pros: high success rate and stability
- Configuration requirements: need to provide mailbox IMAP/SMTP parameters
- Applicable scenarios: long-term use, enterprise-level applications
The selection suggests a decision tree model:
- If this is your first attempt, prioritize the default temporary mail scheme
- Switch to IMAP scheme when authentication fails 3 times in a row
- For academic institution users, it is recommended to configure IMAP service for EDU mailboxes
- Business users should configure dedicated mail server parameters
The tool has a built-in intelligent switching mechanism that automatically enables alternate solutions when a temporary mail service is detected to be unavailable. Advanced users can also customize the mail service provider API endpoints in advanced.ini, a feature that is especially useful when researching the limitations of mailbox services in different regions.
