Cannot delete primary email address

Error message

Cannot delete primary email address

What it means

Business-rule guard in DefaultEmailAddressService.delete: the address being deleted is the user's primary email address, which cannot be removed (it identifies the account); NotAcceptableException is thrown before super.delete. Fix: set another verified address as primary first, then delete this one.
