Hi Rodrigo,

Very well. Many thanks for letting me know! Let's start with this one first:

I just published YUM updates for 5210R and 5211R that fix the issue. You 
can now enter multiple email addresses as recipient in 'Email 
Forwarding' again. The correct format is: One email address per line. No 
commas or semicolons at the end.

The problem was that I did split the input incorrectly if there was more 
than one line and that has now been fixed.

Do a "yum clean all" and "yum update" and you'll get the updates that 
solve the issue.

This is a bit of a misconception, but I can see how you got the impression.

These radio switches that fold out other form fields if they're enabled? 
And collapse these form fields back into invisibility once disabled?

For the sake of giving them a name we named them "MultiChoice" or 
"MultiChoice Radios".

The form validation checks only form fields that are visible at the time 
of the check. So if a MultiChoice like "IMAP Synchronization" is NOT 
enabled, then the (now invisible) form fields it has will not be 
included in the error checks. Once you enable a MultiChoice? Then all 
its required fields demand input and all input that is inserted is 
checked to see if it matches the expected format.

So unless you enable "IMAP Synchronization" it has no effect if there is 
required data missing or fields don't have the correct input. That way 
you don't need to worry about anything that's in the underlying form 
fields of such a MultiChoice for as long as it's not enabled.

You can even flip it to enabled and as long as you don't click into one 
of the underlying form fields of that MultiChoice the error check will 
not trigger. But once you click into (for example) "Source Password" and 
then click somewhere else? It will mark that formfield as red and will 
say: "Please fix this field" as it demands input.

Now here is the glitch (and yes, it is one): If you now click on "IMAP 
Synchronization" again to close that MultiChoice and to hide its 
underlying form fields?

The "Save" button remains greyed out and doesn't turn fully green again.

BUT: It still works and you *can* save. It wouldn't let you save if the 
MultiChoice with the active form validation error was still open, though.

This is a small annoying glitch in the MultiChoice form field validation 
that I still need to fix. But it's horribly complicated.
