Hello,

it seems to me that some features do not work if the user’s email address (like it is defined inside gitea) has no domain part. This is often the case on my gitea site, because users are authenticated through radius by ., without a domain part. But how can users change their email address? When I log in, and go to my settings, I can only view the email address, but not edit it.

Regards  
Christoph

This should be a feature request.

I was wondering how to do that. I’m setting up a Gitea installation where users sign in via LDAP. Gitea shows mail as username@localhost, which is useless for me.
