I am running Webmail pro PHP on one domain connecting to our email server via POP3.
My login is set to:
Hide email field
Display domain after login field as: Single Domain
I am having issues with users not always using the same case when logging in (i.e. USERNAME vs
username) . Our POP server ignores case of the username(assumes all lowercase) but Webmail Pro creates
a new account for each login, thus the user doesn't see email downloaded with the other case-ed account.
This is causing some confusion with our users and really shouldn't be happening as email addresses
themselves are inherently not case sensitive.

While email addresses aren't case-sensitive indeed, this doesn't apply to POP3 usernames. In general, POP3 username and the email address part before "@" is not necessarily the same thing. We might add converting logins to lowercase, but what if some user indeed has case-sEnSitive login? We believe this conversion could increase a number of complaints, so we'd rather keep this the way it is.

That makes sense for the login part. An option (like the full email correction you have now) to parse it to
all lower case would be an excellent feature.
