Hi, I have several smart mailboxes with a condition of "To Contains

Since email addresses are case-insensitive, shouldn't the filters
also be?
Perhaps it's because I'm using a more recent version (1.13.1), but at
the bottom of the "contains" drop down, you will see "Options", one of
which is "Case Sensitive". Is it checked or unchecked?
unfortunately is the local-part (before the @) technically case
sensitive.

Not only is the local-part case insensitive, you would not believe the
awful things you can put in there (all sorts of symbols, and spaces, and
other obnoxiousness, if you enclose it in double-quotes). A lot of that
was to allow for routing through weird legacy systems. But that's why
it's set up that way.
The sentence I like the best is:
In short, you are safe to treat email addresses as case-insensitive.
Mostly, but no guarantees.
It is up to Benny, but at least I agree and think this is a bug which
should be fixed 😅
If you don't have "Case sensitive" turned on and it's not matching, then
yes, probably a bug.
