For me it's more stupid if a client changes the given username before sending it to a server ;-) For me the best would be to lowercase the username only if the server reject the login, but first it should be tried a given by the user (because some users know what they do if they enter John instead of john) > > On Fri, 18 Dec 2009 17:12:36 -0800, Arne Berglund > <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I do the force to lower case on my IMAP server (Dovecot).
