I didnt know that Joomla not check that you cant use an email as a user name. :)
user2: username=myemail@whatever.org, email=otheremail@whatever.org
if Joomla check that you can n o t use an email as user name (... @....xxx ) then why cant this solution work?

it doesnt check - thats why Robert's comment is important
Thanks for suggesting the change, but this is not th right way of doing it. With your change I can register two users:
user1: username=user1, email=myemail@whatever.org
user2: username=myemail@whatever.org, email=otheremail@whatever.org
if I now try to login with myemail@whatever.org I have two possible results not knowing who is the right one.
