Build ID: 20111208031134

Steps to reproduce:

I have 'Automatically add outgoing email addresses to my... Collected Addresses' checked. 


Actual results:

It is collecting duplicate email addresses because they have different case, e.g. SteveSmith@test.com and stevesmith@test.com are both collected.


Expected results:

Collected email addresses should be unique regardless of case.
This is wrong in general. Technically (RfC 5322), SteveSmith@test.com and stevesmith@test.com are different addresses, but most (not all!) mail server fold them onto the same mailbox.

Suggesting WONTFIX.
