You remember incorrectly ;-)

The local part of an address (before the @ sign) is case-sensitive (with
the exception of [email protected])

Everything to the right of the @ is indeed case insensitive, but everything
to the left might be case sensitive, depending on local policy.  This means
you must preserve the case of everything to the left of the @ sign.
