[dev] Fwd: [horde] Fwd: Case insensitive unique key

[Chuck Hagenbuch]

Seems like the consensus is for lowercasing/normalizing. And no one  
speaking against it. Can we consider this a done decision?

Are we set up to make this change in the develop branch?

good idea. Not sure why IMAP servers allow to login with usernames  
with spaces.
