It has, several times...

This is really a problem with your imap server (or the authentication backend
it is using) which shouldn't be treating them seperately.

There is, depending on your Horde/IMP version, ways to fix this.   In most
recent versions, you can use a hook to convert their username to lowercase
after it is accepted at the login screen and before it is used anywhere.
This would be better and easier and more consistent than hacking the source
code.
