<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; width: 50em; color: #000000;">When I use
primary_mail = '%(givenname)s'[0:1]%(surname)s@%(domain)s
It shows properly in web interface:

<a style="color: #663366;" href="http://cl.ly/image/3y0m1b0t1H2N">http://cl.ly/image/3y0m1b0t1H2N</a>
I changed in kolab.conf to:
primary_mail = "%(givenname).1s%(surname)@%(domain)"
also tried:
primary_mail = '{initial}{surname}@{domain}'.format(initial=first_name[0].lower(), surname=surname.lower(), domain=domain)
But does not give me output on web admin:

<p>I have a vague recollection that primary_email doesn't actually support the Python string processing stuff, or at least it don't use to?</p>
<p>To get around this I have the following on a 3.1 system</p>
<p><span>primary_mail = %(uid)s@%(domain)s <br />policy_uid = '%(givenname)s'[0:1]%(surname)s.lower()<br /> <br /></span></p>
<p><span>No idea if this is still the case on a 3.4 system and this will change the uid.</span></p>
