Nothings running until tomorrow, bows the best time before accounts start to be generated
Turns out there was a space after my first name so my personal account has been generated as firstname-.surname100@… (note the hyphen!)
My fault… But maybe worth applying a trim function to names, to remove rogue spaces, before generating email addresses!
That’s frustrating as I only did a visual check
Yeah I just checked mine as no email of yet… All good for me!
I’ve not had an email yet but notice on my SMS profile a “personal account” email has been set under my contacts personal info tab.
ooh, me too - and I have the 100 version

I am the only person in the UK with my name, so was expecting to be
My understanding was in fact that is checked during the service number generation so the combination of first name, last name and last 3 digits is always unique.
Yes, there is. But it worked in the regular forces - with far more people having an email address - so I think the odds work out.
Useful to know. Obviously I have no input into that side of things, but having worked on projects outside RAFAC requiring generation of unique IDs my thought process instantly headed towards potential problems
