Description
I've got a user whose email account is no loger valid (he seems to have graduated and lost his college account). He is subscribed to a number of forums and every message sent to him generates a message to me that his account doesn't exist anymore.Just as there is a prompt user to change password checkbox, it would be nice if there was a checkbox that could remind a user to change their email address upon login.

Just delete the email address and they will be notified on next login

Doesn't work. I get the message that it is an invalid email address and it doesn't save my change.

Any progress on this? Unless I block their email entirely, I keep getting notices from their isp sent back to me every time the email doesn't go through. I would prefer to do as Martin suggested but Moodle doesn't allow me to do that.

Bump! I sent out an email to all my site registrants yesterday (over 1300) and got back 35 rejected emails, due to full mailboxes, non-existing accounts etc. I really need a way to be able to tell these people if they happen to log in that they need to change their email at that point.

Half or more of the emails I am receiving these days in my admin mailbox are bouncing forum posts to email addresses that no longer work for forum participants. Some of these participants are logging in regularly but I have no way to communicate with them to tell them to change their email addresses to something that works. I do not use instant messaging in my Moodle so what am I supposed to do? Put a forum post saying Hey so-and-so change your email address and spam all my other users. This is really a critical feature that is much-needed.
