Hi everyone. I am getting ready to do a test import from vBulletin to Discourse. I have a few questions.

1. When the import happens, will every user who is imported automatically get an email notification after the import process? We want to do a test migration before we do the real migration and prefer that users are not sent email during this test migration. We want to validate that the migration works before moving ahead with it.

2. When the users are migrated over and come to the new site, how does Discourse associate a historical user who was migrated over with a user coming to Discourse? Do they have to use the same email address as the migrated user?

Thank you.
