Login issues using iphone/android for all browsers

Hi everyone, new here. Haven’t been able to find an answer for a couple of issues I’m experiencing so thought I’d try a post.

The issue is creating a new account/verifying email via iphone and android for all browsers.

  1. Create account and click ‘join your team’. I land on a page that says ‘send an email verification link’. When I check my email, I have received two ‘verify your email’ emails. It seems the first is sent when I click join your team, and the second is sent when I click send verification link. Is there a way to prevent the first verification email?
  2. When I check my mailbox, the first email from rocketchat is the ‘Welcome to Rocketchat - Login here’. I haven’t received the verify email yet. This will be confusing for external users. Is there a way to turn off welcome emails globally?
  3. Once I click verify email, I am redirected to rocketchat via my browser and the page doesn’t load. I need to click refresh? Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thank you.

You should probably spend some time in the docs, and have a thorough read of all the admin options available.

Also - make sure you do NOT use GridFS - see the docs for more.

I’ve reviewed doco and have mostly resolved the email issues.

I am still landing on rocketchat web page after clicking verify email, and the page doesn’t load - I need to click refresh. Can anyone provide any guidance please?
