No Way To Remove Old Emails

[Julien Funk]

Once logged into Single Sign-On there is no function to remove old irrelevant emails from the system.

Testcase ISD_205

[Stuart Metcalfe (stuartmetcalfe)]

We recently released a fix to bug #491319 which enabled removal of unverified emails. Do you mean removal of any email, verified or not?

[Stuart Metcalfe (stuartmetcalfe)]

Going to assume this is for deleting confirmed emails.

[Francis J. Lacoste (flacoste)]

Yes, deleting confirmed emails is not possible.

See the linked question for a use case. (The guy wanted to register two accounts so that he can receive mailing list emails to both addresses working around a Launchpad limitation).

[Matt Griffin (mattgriffin)]

This sounds like the customer wants to delete an email account that he no longer uses. This should be permitted but part of this process I supposed might involve changing the confirmed/verified email account to the new verified email account used by the customer.

[Stuart Metcalfe (stuartmetcalfe)]

It would be interesting to know if there's a historical reason why users aren't able to delete confirmed emails. It seems a reasonable feature to implement.

[Stuart Metcalfe (stuartmetcalfe)]

Discussed this with flacoste and there doesn't seem to be an obvious reason why we shouldn't implement this functionality in the new SSO system.

[Dave Morley (davmor2)]

It would be better to position the add another email/delete email to the right of the dropdown email list. This would help stop accidental clicking. it would also give a nice break between the email and password sections of the page.

[Stuart Metcalfe (stuartmetcalfe)]

A minor change to the current EC2 implementation before release, as agreed with newz just now. We should remove the "Email addresses" link in the top nav and add a "cancel" link which returns to the main account editing page (eg: "[ Add email ] or _cancel_"). This will enable us to display the email management form in an overlay in a future release.

[Dave Morley (davmor2)]

On the email management tab there is a delete option for all bar the default email for the account.

passes on ec2

Found some defects with this and entered them into a new defect: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-identity-provider/+bug/610184

But it mostly works and I am letting this one pass on staging.
