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
