Using the map{} method all you can do it tell it the column name to update and the plugin/dovecot writes the insert on dupe query automatically removing any kind of flexibility or customization.

Assuming you use MariaDB / MySQL, you create this trigger in the database. Assuming your int/bigint/varchar column is lastlogin and the table name is mailacct, the trigger will update the datetime `logindate` column whenever the table is updated, by whatever existing queries you have. This is your recourse when you can't get your queries to do the right thing in the first place.
