Collection of Email Providers' Webmail Sites

About

, _(*1)

Many websites require an email double opt-in during user registration. This project wants to fix the resulting break in user flow when users have to manually switch to their email providers' website to receive the confirmation email., _(*2)

With Webmail Linker, you can offer a direct link to the user's webmail interface. In addition to the webmail URL, you'll get the name of the email provider and a favicon URL, so you can offer a button like "Check your email on [name and icon of the provider]"., _(*3)

The list contains 250+ email providers so far., _(*4)

Languages

The core of this project, the list of email providers, is maintained in JSON. The provided wrapper classes to query the list are very simple – feel free to add libraries for other languages via pull requests., _(*5)

Usage example (PHP):, _(*6)

$wl = new WebmailLinker();

if($provider = $wl->getProviderByEmailAddress('user@example.com')) {
  $html = '<a href="%s">Check your email at %s</a>';
  printf($html, htmlspecialchars($provider['url']), htmlspecialchars($provider['name']));
}
