 | 
 | My IMAP server will allow logins with any case, which really surprised me
 | when
 | I first discovered this!  But a lot of users, for some reason unknown to me,
 | do use the different cased letters in their logins, so this kind of works
 | out for them, *as long as they are consistent.*
 | 
 | The problem is, if they login inconsistently (e.g. sometimes all lower case,
 | sometimes all upper case) then the IMAP server accepts it without problem in
 | all cases,  but their horde database entries (prefs, etc) that are keyed off
 | their username work or don't work, or get duplicated, based on the case they
 | used.
 | 
 | So, if you did fix this, it would fix some problems.  But if you don't fix
 | it, that's cool tool.  But why fix it in the code, when I could -- if I
 | wasn't so lazy -- just fix it with the existing hooks (just write a hook
 | that converts all logins to lowercase, for example)?  Am I missing
 | something,
 | or isn't this a job for the hooks?

I change to lower case in hooks, and in my add user scripts so it doesn't 
matter what the user puts in anywhere.  I don't use hooks because of that
but it was a convenience, in my case.
