Team's Response

1++1@example.com is not a valid email address. There are specific rules regarding characters, symbols, and format. One of them is that special characters cannot be consecutive. It's not feasible to list all the rules within the app due to length constraints. Moreover, if this email address cannot even be created in any email provider, there is no reason to store this in the app and it's logical to prevent its creation within our app.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

• [x] I disagree

Reason for disagreement: If all the rules cannot be listed within the app due to length constraints, then it might be possible to list it in the User Guide as an alternative since the UG is used in tandem with the application.
