Case sensitve user/mailbox names

[Pål Olsen]

Hi,

I've just implemented a new mail platform using Cyrus IMAPd 2.1.11 and Exim
4.12, and I wonder... how to deal with the fact that systems don't allways
do want you expect..?

It seem to me that exim/cyrus has problem with delivery of mail if the
mail-address are written in another case than the mailbox-name... E.g. user
fridao at mydomain can't receive mail if the sender uses mail-address
Fridao at mydomain. How should I deal with that?

Also, this makes it, at least confusing, when dealing with imap-clients:

<bash>
>$ telnet localhost imap
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK imap1.mydomain Cyrus IMAP4 v2.1.11 server ready
. login fridao ******
. OK User logged in
. select inbox
* FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen)
* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen \*)]
* 6 EXISTS
* 0 RECENT
* OK [UNSEEN 5]
* OK [UIDVALIDITY 1044311451]
* OK [UIDNEXT 108]
. OK [READ-WRITE] Completed
. logout
* BYE LOGOUT received
. OK Completed
Connection closed by foreign host.

>$ telnet localhost imap
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK imap1.mydomain Cyrus IMAP4 v2.1.11 server ready
. login Fridao ******
. OK User logged in
. select inbox
. NO Mailbox does not exist
. logout
* BYE LOGOUT received
. OK Completed
Connection closed by foreign host.
</bash>

Is this a bug, or what..? If not a bug, is it intended to work this way -
and why..?

Chers,
Pål
