+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.ext' would be:
+
+---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+password_query = \
+ SELECT concat(user, '@', domain) AS user, password \
+ FROM users \
+ WHERE user = '%n' and domain = '%d'
+---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+You can also update "username" and "domain" fields separately:
+
+---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+password_query = \
+ SELECT user AS username, domain, password \
+ FROM users \
+ WHERE user = '%n' and domain = '%d'
+---%<-------------------------------------------------------------------------
