Why I do not get the registration mail from freenode in gmail

1

I try to register my nickname on freenode with this command:

/msg Nickserv REGISTER secretpassword nickname@gmail.com

I do get a confirmation that a email was sent to nickname@gmail.com but there isn't an email in my inbox also not in SPAM folder.

The output of /msg Nickserv Info told me that my nickname registration is not completed. Is there any limitation on freenode IRC while using gmail or can I change the email address for the registration process?

Have you tried contacting Freenode staff in #freenode? – user1686 – 2018-11-02T08:19:16.613

Thx for the hint, I join the channel and ask the same question as here. – kockiren – 2018-11-02T08:22:17.420

@grawity in the #freenode channel I get the hint to drop the registration an register with a diffrent Address than my gmail address, than I change with /msg Nickserv SET EMAIL nickname@gmail.com the email address and that works. – kockiren – 2018-11-02T08:41:58.953
