[horde] lower/uppercase problems

[Fabio Pedretti]

Hi,
thanks, I fixed the problem using the hook.
However seems that if I don't use this hook, horde is not enterely 
case-insensitive: turba works (I can see my contact) with either lower, upper 
or mixed case, while with kronolith I have some problem:

>> Instead, I can create New Event in the calendar only if I am logged in with

>> view, but I can't view, edit or delete the event.

Is it a horde bug?

Fabio
