I had the same issue when I found I needed the mail attribute 'after the fact'. You can add the extensibleObject objectClass to the account, then you should be able to add the email attr.
Thanks, John

After a long search, I found that you cannot have both. So I am trying
to remove "account", and add "inetOrgPerson". But I cannot do that either. I just get the following error :
err=69 text=structural object class modification from 'account' to
'inetOrgPerson' not allowed
If I just try to remove "account", I get
entry failed schema check: no structural object class provided
So, how can I add "inetOrgPerson" and remove "account" ?
The only way I know is you export the entry, modify the ldif and reimport. I just did that for all our groups, because we extended the schema and wanted that our own objectClass has sup of groupOfUniqueNames.
Also, I notice that I don't have "account" listed under dn:
cn=schema,cn=config. What I have is:
{0}core {1}cosine {2}nis {3}inetorgperson {4}samba {5}apple
The account objectClass is in the cosine schema.
Thanks for any help

PS: I just need a "mail" attribute. Maybe there is a simpler way than
to add inetOrgPerson with all it's ridiculous attributes like "audio" or "carLicense" ?
