  • changing primary mail address

    hello everyone,

    ich want to change the primary mail address of an existing user.

    i edited User.properties
    HTML Code:
    PRIMARY_MAIL_UNCHANGEABLGE=false
    then i restartet open-exchange-admin

    Code:
    #changeuser -c 1 -A admin -P geheim -u user1 -e newaddress@example.de
    user user1 in context 1 could not be changed: 
    Server response:
     primary mail must not be changed
    funny thing that the server is telling me what i wouldn't have to do....

    so, what should i do???

    Hi,

      but how do i work around my problem to change the primary email-address?

      the former primary email-address of that user doesn't exits anymore.

      how do u manage the change of someone lastname? (e.g. marriage)

        That should work. If not, I'd consider this as a bug.

            since the bug isn't fixed yet, and i still have the issued problem about my user which got married, i need some kind of workaround.

            can't i just change the primary-emailadress in the mysql-database?

            is it enough to change the field "mail" in the table "user"?

            greetings

                the bug isn't fixed in 6.12

                my customers can't wait anymore.

                do u have any suggestions for a good workaround?

                changing the field email in table user of my database didn't work.

                what do i have to change else?

                greetings

                  i just updated to ox 6.14 rev 6 on a debian lenny (stable) system.

                  i still can't change the primary emailadresse.

                  i am waiting for this to be fixed since 6.10!

                  is there any kind of workaround? how do u manage a change of your last name an email?

                  or can i change the emailadress in the mysql-database directly?

                  does anyoneelse having this problem?

                  greetings
