Oh. I didn't look at it that closely.

But I'm still not sure what you're going to do with a case-insensitive
mailbox comparision function. If you wanted to open a Spam mailbox
case-insensitively I guess you'd have to list all the mailboxes and then
compare each of them case-insensitively? Or hopefully you have something
else less ugly in mind? :)

Anyway I'd rather not change the code until I can figure out if the
change is actually going to be a good idea. If you just want it to work
now, you could just as well call strcasecmp() directly since the mailbox
name comparing code won't be changed anytime soon..
