What I don't understand is -- all usernames in my test database are stored in lower case -- shouldn't it simply fail to match and cause the login to fail? Can anyone point out how to force the match to be case sensitive?
If you are using MySQL, all string comparisons are case insensitive by default.
It would be "nicer" though if Dovecot converted all username input to lower case before authenticating to maintain uniqueness of email addresses.
No, it should be a configurable option, since some sites would want that and others wouldn't...
