I would strongly recommend against doing this for user names (actually
passwords are case sensitive).  It's impossible to make user names in
email addresses case sensitive (it breaks various RFCs) so there is no
reason to make user names at the system end, where any possible MTA/MDA
might live, case sensitive.
