Mailserverlogin Postfix and Dovecot with UID

Hello,
as mentioned in https://docs.software-univention.de/handbuch-4.2.html#mail::management::users the primary mail address is used as login.
This behavior is different to all other logins where the uid is used.
Is there a reason why we use the primary mail address and not the UID?
Is it possible to configure postfix and dovecot that uid and/or mail address can be used for login?
