This lacked documentation but was community contributed feature to allow further customization of a Dovecot Account.

It has caveats as DMS does not take these into consideration anywhere in scripts. Documenting officially for better awareness.

**Dovecot "extra fields"**
[Appending a third column will customize "extra fields"][gh-issue::provisioner-file::accounts-extra-fields] when converting account data into a Dovecot UserDB entry.
DMS is not aware of these customizations beyond carrying them over, expect potential for bugs when this feature breaks any assumed conventions used in the scripts (_such as changing the mailbox path or type_).
!!! note
Account creation will normalize the provided email address to lowercase, as DMS does not support multiple case-sensitive address variants.
