+1 for me. It's a constant problem with an ldap backend. You can log in as
you want, but your prefs are case dependent. More it breaks for me the
kronolith update to horde5. Some old account data exists whith bot Joe and
joe. If I remenber, somebody configured syncml with a first capital letter
(no hook available). A few years later it makes me loose time for duplicate
keys during kronolith update.
