Feature request
Hi,
Currently, the "mail" attribute is always saved to LDAP, regardless the setting. We would like to avoid storing email addresses in LDAP and this is not necessary for Nextcloud to work. Thefore, it should be possible to make the "mail" attribute configurable and add/omit under "User template" in the settings. Thanks.

Research direction
Start by tracing the LDAP write behavior and the User template settings where attributes are selected. Determine how the mail attribute is currently saved and how template choices are represented. Done means users can configure whether mail is included, and the selected behavior is respected when writing to LDAP.
