Isn't the user name in the original Unix mail system (and presumably most of its descentants) case sensitive? In which case it has to distinguish between mail sent to bob and to Bob?
Message handling systems MUST preserve case, systems delivering messages to a mailbox SHOULD ignore case.
RFCs, especially earlier ones, require local-part to be case senstive but that was a poorly thought out directive and the world largely ignored it.
