LDAP Email attribute

[murgero]

After reading https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/4802/role-required-to-enable-mailbox-creation/1

I'd like to request a feature: If using an external LDAP connection, I'd like cloudron to, if enabled, make mailbox's during importing of LDAP users if the user has an email specified in their LDAP attributes.

@murgero this would be doable. Of course only if that domain is managed by this Cloudron and has the email solution enabled. I do wonder what the use-case is though, but I have not worked in larger organizations with a centralized LDAP or AD much, so would be great if you could shine some light on if this is just an initial sync use-case or something ongoing in such organizations.

@nebulon this is something for some "larger" sized organizations. As an example, a client that wants to switch to using cloudron - they have 50 or so users. It would be nice to automate the mailbox creation with initial sync and/or on-going (new users get a new mailbox and so on). Of course, this is mainly for external LDAP / AD.

Sounds super useful indeed!
We could manage all our users centrally and create mailboxes for them too
