Hi everyone! I launched my product yesterday after testing, and I'm seeing users drop off during email verification. Initially thought users didn't like the product, but several reported they're experiencing 1-3 minute delays receiving verification emails. Questions:

Is 1-3 minute delay acceptable for OTP & email verification flows? I'm in Pakistan and so are my users - could there be geo-based restrictions affecting delivery? Any recommendations for improving email delivery speed with Appwrite?

Has anyone else experienced similar delays, especially in South Asia? Would appreciate any guidance on optimizing email delivery or alternative approaches. Thanks!

TL;DR
Developers facing email verification delays of 1-3 minutes for users in Pakistan using Appwrite. They are seeking advice on acceptable delay times, potential geo-based restrictions, and ways to improve email delivery speed. Other developers are asked to share similar experiences and suggestions for optimizing email delivery.
