Steps to reproduce
- invite guest from file sharing using email address with sub addressing
<name>+<postfix>@domain.tldthows error cf. actual behaviour - invite guest from admin user -> add account using email address with sub addressing
<name>+<postfix>@domain.tldworks OK. But after refresh I see this account is not added to guests group. Login does not work. - Adding a normal user account from admin user -> add account using email address with sub addressing
<name>+<postfix>@domain.tldworks OK. This user can login but is obviously NOT added to Guests user group.
Expected behaviour
Consistent behaviour and support of email address with sub addressing <name>+<postfix>@domain.tld in all NC apps. Support of RFC +@domain.tld email addresses (also known as "plus addressing" or "subaddressing") is addressed in RFC 5233, titled "Sieve Email Filtering: Subaddress Extension". It is known as a very helpful extension e.g. during testing.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Reproduce the file-sharing invitation and admin account flows with a plus-addressed email, then trace their handling and guest-group assignment; done means consistent support for these addresses across the described Nextcloud guest flows and successful guest login.
