Hi everyone,

As I've noticed that after creating an email address, Carbonio CE is automatically assigning mailbox name with numeric name instead of the email address name without the domain.

For example the email address is john.doe@domain.com, carbonio will assign mailbox name like 06 instead of john.doe which is very hard to identify.

Hi,

I guess you are talking about /opt/zextras/store/ directory. If it is about the store directory, it is the convention used by systems. Using numbers creates a more balanced directory structure. Also, If a user's name changes, the storage path can remain the same since it's based on a unique ID rather than the username itself. Also, Numeric IDs avoid potential issues with special characters or different character sets in usernames.

I would not recommend changing it as it is being used as reference in core system components.
