Definition

FromRFC4524: "The mail (rfc822mailbox) attribute type holds Internet mail addresses in Mailbox RFC5321 form (e.g., user@example.com)."

Important

  • In the Switch edu-ID federation, the correctness of this attribute can not be guaranteed by the home organization since mailboxes may be changed by the user without informing the home organization (private mailboxes).

  • If a person has more than one e-mail address, it is RECOMMENDED to provide a single address only, the address used by the home organization itself when sending e-mails to that person.
    More e-mail addresses might be provided in swissEduPersonOrganizationalMail swissEduPersonPrivateMail
