Issue

If an email is saved without a value in the from_addr field, it is possible that the from address can be set to a random address. This address is determined by the first returned address with no "email_address_caps" value

Possible Fix

Prevent the getEmailGUID function from querying the database with an empty address value

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

1. Set an email address in the database to have an empty value in the "email_address_caps" field
2. Use Outlook plugin to sync an email across
3. The email will be saved with the from address of the email address with the empty email_address_caps
...

Context

This was discovered while syncing emails with the official outlook plugin where there was a period where email_address_caps was not correctly populated.
