New description are great, thx! Unfortunately, the shortDescription for the Extended Attribute of the Self-Service-Email-Address does not get updated for existing installations. It is only set when creating the ExtAttr. The joinscript should also handle the case that the ExtAttr already exists and update the description.

Workaround:

udm settings/extended_attribute modify \
  --dn "cn=UniventionPasswordSelfServiceEmail,cn=custom attributes,cn=univention,$(ucr get ldap/base)" \
  --set shortDescription="Password recovery e-mail address" \
  --set translationShortDescription='"de_DE" "E-Mail-Adresse zur Passwort-Wiederherstellung"'


+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #46080 +++

To reduce confusion, we should adjust the display name of our E-mail-related attributes. I suggest:

1. User -> General
old: "Primary e-mail address"
new: "Primary e-mail address (mailbox)"

2. User -> [Advanced settings]
old: "Alternative e-mail address" 
new: "E-mail alias address"

3. User -> Contact
old: "E-mail address"
new: "E-mail address"
-> no change, but add a long description, e.g.: 
"This e-mail adress serves only as contact information. This address has no effect on the UCS mail stack and is not related to a local mailbox."

4. User -> Password Recovery
old: "E-mail address"
new: "Password recovery e-mail address"

This bug addresses the descriptions of the attributes in UMC. I'm fine with leaving the names of the LDAP attributes as they are.
