 * Hey there,
 * i just installed the plugin, when i went to the backend page to adjust a username,
   i got an error 500. Log states:
 * Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2031616 bytes)
 * Using flywheel as a host, might this be caused by the number of users in the 
   db (about 12.000) I also saw a memory exhaust error for Postman plugin, you plugin
   doesn`t trigger any email sending when approaching the username asjust page right?

 * Hi,
 * Web servers are just like any other computer. They need memory to efficiently
   run multiple applications at the same time. Server administrators allocate specific
   memory size to different applications including PHP.
 * You can ask your host provider to increase the memory limit or you can easily
   fix it by yourself

 * Regarding the email. It does send an email if you check the checkbox while updating
   the username.
 * Thanks!
