Sure, so long as that ID actually identifies the thing in question. Email addresses ARE a great natural ID for an e-mail mailbox. If you want to store a history of what e-mails a particular address has received, they're great. They are not a good identifier for a user since they don't describe the same thing, just two things that happen to coincide right now.

- direwolf20 3y agoAn email address is a great natural ID for an email address, but an address isn't a mailbox. Different addresses can go to the same mailbox, and the same address can go to different mailboxes based on filtering.
