Hello Michael, Thank you for sharing your experience. It is new learning that multiple email addresses can be used in one field. All the best.

According to https://stackoverflow.com/a/574698 the maximum length of an email address is 254 characters, so VARCHAR(255) should be enough. Do you know if there is any reason why we use mostly TEXT and MEDIUMTEXT for these columns ?
Is there ever a situation where we want to allow multiple email addresses in one field? I don't know if that's even possible in Koha, but I seem to recall discussion of it in the past.
