Yes, Optigold verifies that the login is in use by an e-mail service
created later when trying to create a new customer login. It is
possible to CHANGE the login of an existing customer to match the login
of another e-mail (Shawn, some more additional logic in the routine?).
But Optigold will not allow you to duplicate another customer's login.
Optigold also will not allow CHANGING an e-mail login already in use,
either by a dial-up login or an e-mail. These I have verified.

Yes, but even with it turned off, using the proper procedures for
adding a customer or e-mail, Optigold refuses to allow me to shaft
myself.
