We are currently unable to send transactional and notification emails due to an ongoing outage at our email service provider. Our team is monitoring the situation and will post updates here as they become available. As a temporary measure, we recommend: - Signing up with Google, which doesn't rely on the email-verification steps. - Using link transfers instead of email transfers whenever possible. These options will let you continue using our service while the email-delivery issue is being resolved.
