[user_external] imap: username and [email protected] are treated as different users

[yennor]

Affected apps

user_external plugin, using imap authentication

Expected behaviour

if you use an imap server which accepts logins with or without domainname, when a user logs in as
"user" or
"[email protected]" it should be treated as the same logins.
There should somehow be a possibility to tell the plugin to, either, always add the domain if the user didn't add it, or to strip the domain from the username if added.

Actual behaviour

An account "user" and a different user "[email protected]" are created..
