I had not forgotten :-)

I wasn't aware of those bugs. Reading them, I'm sad about the stop energy.

But OK, this is a bit more complicated than it looks at first glance.
Going back to first principles, what do we actually need?

* email: an unique actual email address we can send mail to
* login: some unique string used to identify accounts and log in
* name: The user's human-readable name
* nick: a short non-unique string for flags etc.

Where does extern_id fit in? Max thought that, in the above scheme, it's
actually the same thing as "login". Is that true in all circumstances?

Could we convert emailsuffix to something which was applied at account
creation time (i.e. used while populating the "email" field), rather
than at every email send?
