It's multivalued in *a* standard schema. SOGo also has to work with
single-valued ActiveDirectory setups, which are anything but rare. (UCS
did do the same thing too even back when they were using Kolab/OpenLDAP,
FYI. And probably others.)

So *if* we get multi-value support in SOGo/Thunderbird (good luck
getting anything done in Thunderbird…), we'd need to be able to
configure a secondary, multi-valued email attribute. Make it default to
`mail` so it'll work with OpenLDAP if you want, but that'd allow
compatibility with AD, too.

Which is a two-line change, FYI.

Why, yes, if you modify the LDAP scheme, you'll have to make sure your
programs understand the scheme. What surprising news.
