To reproduce:
- Create a sandbox account using Special:MainPage. (The email address is mandatory in the form.)
- Receive a confirmation email sent to the provided address. Click the link to confirm the address.
- Make some stash translations.
- Log in as an administrator and promote the newly-created user.
- Go to the newly-created user's user page.
Observed:
- The "Email user" link doesn't appear in the sidebar.
- If you go to Special:EmailUser, this message appears:
"This user has not specified a valid email address"
Expected:
- The "Email user" link must appear in the sidebar.
- Special:EmailUser must allow sending an email.
The email is probably not stored correctly at some point in the sandboxed user creation process and both issues will probably fixed together.
