 This plugin can be used to add additional mail accounts to SnappyMail when a user logs in successfully. The list of additional accounts is retrieved by a ldap query that can be configured inside the plugin settings.\
 On a successful login the username of the SnappyMail user is passed to the plugin and will be searched in the ldap. If additional mail accounts are found, the username and domain-part of those will be used to add the new mail account. The plugin tries to log in the user with the same password used to login to SnappyMail - if this fails SnappyMail asks the user to insert his credentials.
 
+Version 2.0.0 changes the way additional mail accounts get their e-mail address: the mail address connected with additional mail accounts is now always the address found inside the ldap.
+Now it is also possible to overwrite the mail address of the main account: if a user logs into SnappyMail with a username and SnappyMail added the configured default domain the mail address of the main account could have been some not existing address like "username@default-domain.com". This could have happend when using the Nextcloud SnappyMail integration that offers an automatic login using the Nextcloud username.
+The plugin now can be configured to overwrite the username or mail address used at login with a mail address found inside ldap.

     - The fields `Object class`, `Base DN`, `Search field` and `LDAP search string` are used to put together a ldap search filter which will return the additional mail accounts of a user:\
     `(&(objectclass=<YOUR OBJECT CLASS>)(<YOUR SEARCH FIELD>=<YOUR SEARCH STRING>))`.\
     This filter will be executed on the `Base DN` you have defined. `LDAP search string` can contain the placeholders `#USERNAME#` (will be replaced with the username the user logged in to Snappymail) and `#BASE_DN#` (will be replaced with the value you inserted into the field `Base DN` inside the plugin settings). This will allow you to create more complex search strings like `uid=#USERNAME#`.
-    - `Username field of additional account`, `Domain name field of additional account` and `Additional account name field` are used to define the ldap attributes to read when the ldap search was successful. For example insert `mail` into the `Username field of additional account` and the `Domain name field of additional account` to use the [local-part](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Local-part) of the mail address as username and the [domain-part](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Domain) as domain for the additional account.\

This can be usefull if your user should login with something different than the mail address (a username that is diffrent from the local-part of the mail address).

-**Important:** keep in mind, that SnappyMail normally needs a mail address as username. In some special circumstances (login with an ldap username, not a mail address) this can mean that you have to configure the plugin to put together a 'fake' mail address like `<LDAP-USERNAME>@<YOUR-DOMAIN>`.
+    Section `Overwrite mail address of main account` can be used to overwrite the username or mail address used at login with a value found in ldap. If activated, the username or mail address used at login will be looked up inside the `Username field` in ldap (for details see how a search for additional accounts is made). If the username is found, the value of the field `Mail address field for main account` will be used to overwrite the mail address of the main account.

+**Important:** SnappyMail normally needs a mail address as username. This plugin handles some special circumstances (login with an ldap username, not a mail address) so that you can login to your IMAP server with the ldap username but send mails with a mail address connected to this ldap user.
