There is a difference between the mail-Address (attribute "mail" in LDAP),
used when accepting mail and delivering it to a mailaccount, and the user-id
(Attribute "uid"), used for authentication when accessing a mailbox and for
smtp-auth.
Your user can login using uid=sato and still access the mailbox for
sato.xav@ramona.co.id.
Searches for mail-addresses are done using attributes "mail" and
"mailalternateaddress" while authentication searches are done using
attribute uid.
