  1. Use Email as Login - whole email address is used as login (e.g. if email is jdoe@domain.com, login will be jdoe@domain.com)
  2. Use Account Name as Login - truncate email address from "@" and use the remainder (e.g. if email is jdoe@domain.com, login will be jdoe)

  2. If ticked, WebMail will construct email account login as concatenation of Login field contents + "@" + domain. You should use this if logins on your mail server look like jdoe@domain.com (i.e. they are the same as email address). Do NOT use this option if logins look like jdoe (e.g. just account name, without domain).
