Ok, now I see. You were right. I was able to access the address book  
by logging in with the exact same username, but with a capital "K".  
The contacts in this address book were not the same as in "My address  
book", so I exported them and imported them back into my account  
without the capital "K". After that I deleted the address book,  
because I thought they were independet from each other. Unfortunately  
this deleted my address books on both accounts. Thank god, I had a  
backup! :) The sad thing: I couldn't find the newly created contacts  
(with my mobile phone) in any address book. And now, after I deleted  
the address books and had to recover them from backup, the newly  
created contacts on my phone are gone.

I don't think it's a normal behavior, that the login is case sensitive  
and you are able to create more than one account with an email  
address. How can I delete the other account with all its content, like  
address books, calender etc.? Although I deleted the address book of  
the capital "K"-account, it still shows up as shared address book in  
my "normal" account.
