Hey, lets say i have 1k email accounts and i create some accounts with them and need to get the verification link. Do i need to use proxies if i login to the email via pop3/imap or can i just use the same ip for all of them?
If you used software to create the accounts, most will have an email verification module that will do they verifying for you. If you created the accounts by hand then you can problably safely login to about 5 email accounts to manually verify per ip.
If you're working in the scale of thousands, just pay Hidemyass and trigger it to change your proxy every few minutes - will run automatically in the background, and the accounts should safe
The problem is not with accessing email accounts from same ip but if you are making 1000 accounts in same site, suppose wordpress, and then verifing link. No matter what softaware you use when you verify email the website records your ip. I have made myself a email verifier in Java. Let me share how it works. 1- It connect with your account with pop3 and verify user credentials. 2- On successful connection, it opens INBOX. 3- It counts total mails and loop through every mail and look for subject if it match with my predefined regex pattern. 4- If it finds the right subject, it downloads the orginal message and again look for word which match with my predfined regex pattern, which would be the verification link. 5- If it finds the link it will open it in a hidden browser and your account will get verified. Now if I do not use proxy and repeat it with a particular website many time than for sure it can put you in trouble. Every time same ip is going to that website.
