Pretty stupid thread.
Everyone in the whole world knows that email addresses are case insensitive. Why on earth would case matter?
Thats like having two domains, www.xyz.com compared to Www.xyz.com
Like I said, pretty stupid.

The localpart of an email address can be case-sensitive. The domainpart not.. For me it's more stupid if a client changes the given username before sending it to a server ;-) For me the best would be to lowercase the username only if the server reject the login, but first it should be tried a given by the user (because some users know what they do if they enter John instead of john)

@Arne How you do this on dovecot? I have a Dovecot running too, but so far I could not find a setting to lower-case loginnames before verify with doveot/passwd. Is there such an easy setting in dvecot.conf? I mean without "fighting" with the source and re-compile.
Thanks and regards
