Why even verify their email address? It's already been done by Facebook?

Verify they still have access to that email.

A lot of people have 6yo+ facebook accounts. I quite enjoy the fact that my verified facebook email goes to a dead account that I only monitor on a 6 month basis... it saves me from a ton of spam.
