+= Email Validation =
+
+This proposal is about adding an email validation facility to Trac.
+
+
+== The Context ==
+User enters a new or changes an existing email address in the general preferences tab. Under both circumstances, a verification email must be sent to the
+user containing a link that will validate the email address to the system, so that the change will come into effect.
+
+But the general preferences tab is not the only place where user's might enter an email address. Similar input fields exist in the ticket system where
+one can add email addresses for ticket change notification. Other such notifications might exist, given the wide range of plugins making use of the
+notification subsystem.
+
+== Requirements ==
+ ''WIP''
+
+=== i18n requirements ===
+
+The notification email clearly needs to be localized/translated.
+
+== Consider Email Validation and Other Related Tickets ==
+
+ * #8637
+ * #9900
+
+=== Discussion ===
+
+While the proposal in #9900 can only be used for a quick validation of the user's input, it must also be extended to accommodate situations where
+one has defined a default domain in trac.ini for sending the email messages to. In addition, the user must be send an email for verifying that it 
+is both a valid email address and also owned by the user entering it.
