 Thanks Timo,

 it was what I thought. However, even if I know know the cause, it 
 doesn't help me too much to do what I want.

 In the link provided, none of the reason is applied in my settings.

 - My auth_username_format is set to the full username+domain, event 
 empty, it's dropped.
 - I use LDAP, not SQL, so I don't know how to return the domain from my 
 query.

 The question is now, how can I return both the username and the domain 
 from LDAP, please ? Once I have the answer, I can add the information to 
 the wiki page.

 However, it seems I can use this method, specified on this page:

 It is exactly what I want to do. But once I have created a "mail" 
 field, how can I access this field from the main dovecot configuration 
 file, please ?

 Thanks for your answer and your patience.

 Once I have finished to setup my environment, I'll publish a document 
 to help others.

 Kind regards,
