XF 2.2 Deleting an email address - can member still log in?

[Alvin63]

This question is specifically about users email addresses. If I delete a user's email address in their account, can they still log in? Have established that the current email address is invalid. They are not contactable and user state appears as Awaiting email confirmation (from edit).

Will removing the old, invalid, email address prevent them from logging in? Basically I don't want to close the account in case they come back, but can't set it to valid without a valid email address. What happens if I set the user state to Email invalid?

Edit. Solved. I deleted the old email address and set the user state to valid. If they log back in with username they have the option to add a new email address.

I set the user state to Email invalid (bounced). AFAIK, they would get a message urging them to update their email if they ever returned.

Thanks. If you set it to Email invalid, can they still login with username and password?

I haven't tested it, but that was my understanding.

I could test it with a spare account.
