I didn't think they were but I created an account: [email protected] and could not access it (via webmail) with [email protected].

I tried this repeatedly to be sure.

When you try and create a duplicate mailname in Plesk, but with different capitalizations, you get the error:

"Unable to add new mail name: The mail name Firstname.Lastname is already in the domain"


Was it always this way and I'm just noticing it now, or did something change and it pass me by?

Thanks...:rolleyes:
 
Webmail uses IMAP to access accounts.
I think there is a configuration option for the Courier-IMAP to ignore case; I dont have access to a Plesk machine to make sure.

With a default install of Plesk though, usernames for email are case sensitive - at least when using IMAP.
