Description
Hi,
on our OwnCloud server nearly all users have the user backend LDAP but their email addresses are empty. Every user in our organisation has an email address and we configured in the advanced tab of the ldap configuration, that the mail ldap attribute should be used for the Email field.
Now some people have an email address (not configured manually) but roughly 80% do not have the email address set.
Do you have an idea, why that is? Shouldn't the email address be set when synchronizing with the ldap server (which happens daily)?
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reproducing the daily LDAP synchronization with the mail attribute configured in the advanced LDAP settings, comparing users whose email is populated with those whose email is empty. Trace the LDAP user synchronization path and determine why the configured attribute is not consistently applied; done means the cause and an actionable fix or limitation are documented.
