[Dovecot] Login with firstname.lastname instead of loginname - WORKING
3 years ago (!) I aksed about this and finally I implemented it today:
But now I'm encountering problems with users writing
Firstname.Lastname@charite.de instead of firstname.lastname@charite.de (capitalized first letters)
How can I "normalize" the usernames by lowercasing them?
The coolest solution would be to strip realms AND force lowercasing of usernames in one pass

Not tested, but hunch tells me something like:
args = username_format=%Ln
should work.

Yes, that worked like a charm! Now we were able to switch from an old courier-pop + patched authdaemon to dovecot for ALL services!

Traditional reasons. This system was installed over ten years ago and was changed over time.
We first started with courier (I think?) or uw-imap (I have no idea - mists of time and all that)
I just asked a colleague who still had the old docs I wrote ages ago. But those were discarded when he changed offices.
