Yup, that's the problem.  Shorter is better and having to remember capital 
letters is not easy for most people.

Let me analyze the problem from a different standpoint:  yes, as long as the 
webmail interface is involved, you can use a Apache / Nginx redirection like 
the following (btw, thanks for sharing your code):

    location / {
        rewrite ^/$     $scheme://$host/SOGo/;
    }

But, if you think about calendar and addressbook clients (like iCal or 
Thunderbird), I'm pretty sure you cannot apply the same workaround.

Things get worse on mobile devices, e.g. iPhones or Android ones, where it can 
be difficult or impossible to paste a ready-made URL and it is quite difficult 
to compose URL strings with mixed uppercase and lowercase letters.

And bear in mind that when you configure, say, iCal on the iPhone you must 
insert the *full path* for *each* of your calendars.

Of course, if I'm missing something, feel free to correct me :-)

Best,
Corrado
