I'm not sure why you want two different e-mail fields? Why not just have a boolean "address confirmed yes/no" field?

Reconfirmation would need to be required when the user changes the address stored in their preferences; this leads to the possibility of storing 'confirmed' and 'new' e-mail addresses to tide over the time between changing and confirming.
Not doing so means locking out the account between change and confirmation, which would be rather a trouble given a typo in the address.
