In MAS we do allow multiple accounts to have the same email address. This is intentional, as we don't really use email addresses as identifiers, and avoids people enumerating other users emails.

However, when we sync those users with Synapse, we may have a problem, as Synapse has a unique index on email addresses, so syncing some users may fail.
