The mail field is supposed to be single-valued, I don't think it's a bug in SOGo if you break your LDAP scheme on purpose. (Exchange e.g. adds the multi-valued proxyAddresses attribute for this purpose, and other groupware solutions use similar named ones. None, to my knowledge, tries to make the main mail attribute multi-valued.) > > > On 24/09/15 16:16, Mathieu Mirmont wrote: >> Hi everyone, >> >> I use SOGo with an LDAP user database and my users have multiple "mail" >> fields for email aliases.
