GUI ldap clients like jxplorer are able to change a single mail: entry. Using "ldapmodify" I replace the first mail: entry, but it will delete the other mail: antries:

In other words, it did exactly what you told it to do i.e. replace an attribute that happened to have multiple values with one that has but a singe value; you need to specify the entire set of desired values.

What a third-party application does is irrelevant; plainly it hid this detail from you.
