"Deleted messages from the spam folder." and that is what Glenn told me he did, without thinking about it. He regularly opens the SPAM folder, uses "Select All" and hits "Delete"; then he opens his "TRASH", and empties that, too.

I fear the ball's in Brent's court, to get the software to resend the request for verification, or perhaps to have Glenn open a new account and merge new with old?
When deleting the spam folder in gmail, it then is placed in the trash folder, and is no longer classified as spam by the gmail server. As such, he then can follow the directions to restore the files in as timely a fashion as he can, search for the proper "confirmation" email, then click the link, or if the link has expired, within that same email, request a new confirmation link to be sent. I know this works with later versions of Vbulletin, uncertain if it will on 4.1.3 which is what the forum is currently on. Everything I've read says it will.
