How to check if email entered exists or not in QLineEdit ?
-
Hi
If you mean to actual check that the email is in fact a real email. Not
syntax wise but that an actual server has this actual email for an user then
the short answer is. You cannot.
Some email servers will report back "unknown user" some will just ignore you.
So will report back that mail could not be delivered. some will not.So what we normally do is to use verification.
You enter email.
System sends you activation mail
You click it.
Email accepted. -

Hi
Coming to your question where are storing the values to be checked?.
with your QLineEdit value.In LineEdit itself and checking if the email is correct or not whenever user clicks on submit button.

Hi :)
okay how can i send verfication link to an email address entered in QLineEdit from my app ?@Ahti
Hi It depends on what server you are planning to use to send the emails.
Say you use a google account you can use SMTP and maybe -
There are a number of sites providing this service, most of them commercially.
http://verify-email.org/ has a free API limited to 5 checks an hour. https://emailhunter.co/ limits to 150 a month
