I would like to allow users to login as user@domain.tld instead of providing their login name; I'm coming from the sendmail/qpopper land and am trying to migrate to postfix/maildir/dovecot one step at a time and I've been able to find a way to do most of what I want except for the above requirement.

Do I have to use a SQL server or is there any way to easilly map an email address to a mailbox or even a maildir?

It depends on how you want the passwords to be stored. passwd-file with "user@host:password" entries might be what you want. userdb would be either the same passwd-file or "static" with home dir given in the template. LDAP would work too. Or pretty much anything really, just think all of "user@domain.tld" as normal login name.
