This package tries to provide a solution to this problem, by linking each customer to a specific mailbox.
The information related to a customer, especially their e-mail address, is only shown to users with access to the related mailbox.
## Data loss warning
When this module is installed, it will link customers to mailboxes.
Customers added once this module is active will be linked to mailboxes too.
On uninstallation, simply unlinking them could cause several problems:
- It could break unicity constraints, as two customers linked to disctinct mailboxes are allowed to use the same e-mail address as long as the module is active;
- It would break the confidentiality promise, by letting all users having access to all customers.
To avoid these problems, on the module uninstallation all the customers linked to mailboxes are dropped from the database.
This is an irreversible operation, the customers deleted that way are gone for good.
So it is highly recommended to backup your customers database:
- Before installing this module;
- Before uninstalling this module.
## Disclaimer
This is still a work in progress.
Using any version prior to the (not yet released) 1.0.0 will lead to irrecuperable data loss.
