'mail' attribute is now case-sensitive?

Hi,

I installed a new 389 (389-ds-base-1.2.5-1.el5.x86_64) to replace the 
old FDS (fedora-ds-base-1.1.3-2.fc6.x86_64) and migrated the content.

Now I realize that search behavior on 'mail' has changed, the old was 
case-insensitive and now is case-SENSITIVE.

Schema definition on FDS was in 01common.ldif:

attributeTypes: ( 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.3 NAME ( 'mail' 
'rfc822mailbox' ) DESC 'Standard LDAP attribute type' SYNTAX 
1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 X-ORIGIN 'RFC 1274' )

on 389 is in 05rfc4524.ldif:

attributeTypes: ( 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.3 NAME 'mail'
   EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match
   SUBSTR caseIgnoreIA5SubstringsMatch
   SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26{256}
   X-ORIGIN 'RFC 4524' )

Is the case-sensitive the right behavior?

What's the meaning of caseIgnoreIA5Match then?
                           ^^^^^^

Is there any method to get back the old (useful) case-insensitive behavior?

Thank you.

Regards,
	Dael.
