Has there been a response to this?  This sounds exactly like what I need.

We have users that tell us what their (multiple) e-mail addresses are
and we need to assign those to their single login ID which is against
our LDAP authentication system.

I see this listed as a possible solution that was posted by "Torsten
Thau" previously:

(1) create additional table columns (e.g. via SQL-Box in Admin area):
ALTER TABLE customer_user ADD COLUMN email_ext00 varchar(300);
ALTER TABLE customer_user ADD COLUMN email_ext01 varchar(300);

(2) add new columns to customer backend configuration in Config.pm:

(2a) Edit the customer backend definition related to the data source for
table "customer_data". Just add following rows to the Map-array (e.g.
directly below the definition for the default email-field):
[ 'UserEmail0', 'Further Email', 'email_ext00', 1, 0, 'var', '', 0 ],
[ 'UserEmail1', 'Further Email', 'email_ext01', 1, 0, 'var', '', 0 ],

(2b) add new table columns as postmaster-search columns
CustomerUserPostMasterSearchFields => ['email', 'email_ext00',
'email_ext01'],

(3) If applicable, extend customeruser-import-export mappings in the
ImportExport backend.
