Kolab 3.3 / primary_mail

[Stuart Naylor]

Dunno if this is being me dumb. We have a primary email and that is the 
only one that has a mailbox and auth.
aliases/secondarymails are just that and I thought mainly they would be 
used for info@ or sales@ or maybe another domain.
They are just aliases so we can have a single inbox but have no other use.

I was quite confused with Kolab in 3.2 when I got 3 variations of name 
with each user add. Just didn't make sense also with naming conventions 
and a lot of common names I can see this getting messy.
I was confused because by default giving aliases of the same name 
variations didn't make any sense to me?

I am glad you posted but saddened by the results.
"admin_auto_fields_rw = true" I know users and they are picky about uids 
and email addresses especially bosses.
So being able to set the email addresses and uid manually is very 
important to me.

So I am hoping the answer is "admin_auto_fields_rw = true" and this is 
just a bug.
