Steps to reproduce:

in Address book window :

1 - Create a mailing list named 'My List 1'
2- Create another mailing list named 'My List 1'

Actual results:

The second list is created without any guard or alert of duplication

Expected results:

an alert prompt should have appeared preventing the user from using a duplicate name

This is due to the fact that in file abMailListDialog.js, the canonical name is sent to the function MailServices.ab.mailListNameExists although this function compares the string as is and does not preform tolower() on all list names before comparison
