Title:
  Primary email address cannot be changed when account is managed by
  external auth

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Tested with MNet on Mahara 1.10:

  A user cannot choose their primary email address when the account is
  managed by MNet.

  Use case:

  1. User logged in to the system with paula.walnut@xxxxxxx as a manual account.
  2. The account was moved to MNet authentication.
  3. User changed their email to paula.apple@xxxxxxxxx in Moodle. This email address was added to Mahara.
  4. User changed email domains to paula.apple@xxxxxxxx in Moodle. This email address was added to Mahara.

  User's primary email address is still paula.walnut@xxxxxxx although
  the only one in use is paula.apple@xxxxxxxx. User cannot change the
  primary email address or delete obsolete ones because the account is
  managed by MNet. MNet is set up to update user information upon login,
  but that doesn't seem to delete email addresses that are not in use
  anymore.

  The curious thing: In the administration under "User search", I do see
  paula.apple@xxxxxxxx as the active email address for the user.

  If managed email addresses cannot / should not be deleted, the user
  should still be able to decide which one the primary one should be.
