Yes, that is expected behavior.  Yes, that would be a correct way of  
handling on your local system.

FWIW, IMAP usernames ARE case sensitive. (RFC 3501).  So are e-mail  
address local-parts (i.e. everything before '@'). (RFC 5322).   
However, with the latter, very few local systems enforce case  
sensitivity so in practical use e-mail addresses are case insensitive  
(domain names are always case insensitive).
