Hi,

Unfortunately, some email providers will block the activation email as spam. Since the activation process is to verify the email address used is true, only the account holder can activate their account.

However, you can disable the forced activation process, which can be disabled via General Settings in your admin area. This will mean that members will be able to use their accounts, without activating ... although the option to activate remains via their profile, if they wish to. The only difference between an activated and unactivated account is that an unactivated account will not be sent mass emails nor be able to request notification emails of replies to topics.
