The RFCs ask for case insensitiveness. MTAs are often configured to be case-insensitive as well. Actually, I welcome that patch very very much. It will put an end to our lusers doing braindead stuff in their imap clients. I would like (and I will probably code it sooner or later) Cyrus to force ALL folder and usernames to lowercase, always. If I code it, it will be a config option, of course :) -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
