Bug ID: 332493
Summary: KAddressbook doesn not allow to create case sensitive
E-Mail addresses
Classification: Unclassified
Product: kaddressbook
Version: 4.12.3
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

KAddressbook should allow the creation of case sensitive e-mail addresses even
is most providers do not distinguish between them and even treat them as the
same mailbox. On a technical level however the E-Mail should be stored as the
user enters it, as we do not know if the e-mail provider indeed follows
convention.
Relevant parts of RFC2821 (Section 2.4, page 13):
> The local-part of a mailbox MUST BE treated as case sensitive.
> However, exploiting the case sensitivity of mailbox local-parts impedes interoperability and is discouraged.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new Contact in the Addressbook
2. Enter e-mail address Foo.Bar at host.com
3. Save contact
Actual Results:
e-mail address of new contact was saved as foo.bar at host.com
Expected Results:
e-mail address of new contact should have been saved as Foo.Bar at host.com
