Description
Steps
- Setup a NC instance
- Create accounts for many external people with email so they can receive an invitation and notifications
- Create a Talk conversation with all people
- Click on the three dots on a person's avatar in the participant list
Expected result
In the case of external people, we should not see their email address.
Actual result
There's an option to see and click an email address
I suggest to add an option to remove the EmailProvider in config.php or other.
A quick hack is to remove https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/stable20/lib/private/Contacts/ContactsMenu/ActionProviderStore.php#L88 in config.php

Research direction
Start with lib/private/Contacts/ContactsMenu/ActionProviderStore.php, especially the EmailProvider reference mentioned in the issue, and inspect how config.php options are handled. Define the configuration behavior so the email action can be disabled for external contacts, then verify that the contacts menu no longer exposes their email address when disabled.
