For some ISPs, the IMPA/POP/SMTP username (and maybe other fields) has no relation to the email address and has to be entered separately. E.g. Email address is ben.bucksch@wong.com (chosen by user), but username is G675476 (provided by ISP).
In this case, an <inputfield> can be added for the username. It will let the client show a textfield to the user, the . The user-visible label is the one provided in the <inputfield label=""> attribute, to allow the ISP to use custom terminology for "username". The result label is not localizable, that would be too complicated and most ISPs are local anyways. The text that the user entered is written into a placeholder %key%, where key is the content of the <inputfield key=""> attribute. The placeholder can then be used in other settings, specifically the IMAP/POP and SMTP username.
For example, a config file entry
