Thank you for reporting this @Alternatifx !
What happens when you press a key? Does it continue in the script, or does it just exit out?
Could you please tell me a bit more about your system? What OS are you using?
And what version of Python are you running? You can do python --version
.
pressing any key just exit it out, no account was created on .csv win 10 python v3.9
I've just been investigating this, and was able to reproduce the error. I've just committed a new fix to better give an explanation on what's going on. Previously it would try for 5 times to get the verification email, but never actually tell the user how far it was. It's now updates accordingly.
In regards to the actual issue at hand though... Well, I'm afraid that MEGA has figured out that people were creating accounts in bulk, using Mail.tm, and has therefor blacklisted their email domain.
I just tried manually creating an account on MEGA, using a fresh email from Mail.tm, and no verification email came through. I also tried changing the email to another, older, Mail.tm email address, and the verification came within seconds.
What I think has happened, is that they have manually blacklisted the current Mail.tm domain - fthcapital.com
.
This is possibly due to abuse, potentially from users of this script.
So I'm afraid I can't really do anything to fix this at the moment, since it's MEGA putting a restriction on this entire ordeal.
The best I could do would be to implement other Temporary Email providers, but I gotta figure out which ones have good API's then.
The good news is that Mail.tm does rotate their email domains quite often, so while the current domain has been blacklisted, and therefor made the script unusable, once Mail.tm puts up a new domain for their temp email addresses, the script will come back to life. I just hope it's not gonna be a cat-against-the-mouse type or ordeal. But it might turn out to be so in the end, unfortunately.
ahh.. that explain why it was not working sometimes then back to normal after a few days later thank you

Yes, that would indeed make sense. I've never experienced this before, but I guess that MEGA is actively trying to combat accounts from temporary email providers. Fortunately they do not ban accounts that are already created on these domains. Not yet at least...
I will implement more different temp email providers in the future. But it's gonna be a big change for the script. I will basically need to rewrite all of it. So until then we just need to wait.
