If you must (it's never good design to impose things you needn't upon
your users), the easiest way is actually to supply the login screen
address as:

http://example.org/webmail/src/login.php?loginname=example.org

Otherwise, either hack the value of $loginname_value in src/login.php
or create a quick plugin to alter the value of the username input
widget or create a custom login form.
