Oops. Should I open an issue for a feature request? I'm surprised that's
not something many sites want ...

OK, I've never heard of this thing. What is it?

Right, so it's something to normalise the userid when you log in.

It will definitely have to be rewritten for Cyrus 3+, because all that
stuff got moved into mbname_t and friends.

Perhaps my assumption that the option is necessary is wrong? But I know for certain that our webmail users use varied case-spellings of their user names, because in earlier versions of our webmail system they would get different user profiles depending on how they had entered their user names ;-)

Bron, how does Fastmail deal with that? Do you simply force users to use the canonic spelling? I guess we could do that, but I'd rather not.

Cheers
Sebastian
