Hi Jon,
that somewhat worked, I did change capital names and after running database upgrade command, some calendar events showed up. I am still having some issues and I will need to spend more time digging around.
Why is Horde case sensitive? Most systems are not and that can be an issue. Especially with mobile devices and auto correct. My email address is my name. So when I try to log in to horde from my phone, I type a name: john, but auto correct changes it to John. It will allow me to log in, but I will have issues with database. This is a very bad design in Horde.
