User extra field
================


This is mostly useful in case-insensitive username lookups to get the username returned back using the same casing always. Otherwise depending on your configuration it may cause problems, such as '/var/mail/user' and '/var/mail/User' mailboxes created for the same user. 
An example 'password_query' in 'dovecot-sql.conf' would be: 

---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# '\' line splitting works only in v1.1+
password_query = \
  SELECT concat(user, '@', domain) AS user, password \
  FROM users \
  WHERE user = '%n' and domain = '%d' ---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------

With v1.1+ you can update the user and domain parts separately using "username" and "domain" fields.
