It is not so much an issue but a problem, with openldap, the 'mail'
attribute can appear multiple times, with AD it is single valued. If you
have users with more than one email address, how is the upgrade to know
which is the main one, if in fact you refer to one as the main one ?
There is another attribute you can use to store email address
'otherMailbox' , but you may be better off investigating mail servers
like zarafa that can authenticate via AD.
