| 343686 | 2005-04-11 05:50:00 | Hi, Are addresses case sensitive? Can you have all capitals, all lower case or mixtures? Does it depend on ISP's etc? I have to enter some into our system at work & the sheets we have to work off have all of the above. Pauline. |

| 343687 | 2005-04-11 05:56:00 | I'm pretty sure they are. My gmail account has a capital letter but when it comes to sending an email, it gets dropped to a small letter. However in msn it keeps the capital in there |

| 343688 | 2005-04-11 05:56:00 | To be safe enter them all lowercase. Shouldnt make any difference tho. | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 343689 | 2005-04-11 05:57:00 | I asked that question not that long ago. The answer was that email addresses are NOT cAsE SeNsiTIve at all so type them how you like. :) | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 343690 | 2005-04-11 05:58:00 | The hostname part of an Internet address isn't case sensitive. In a URL, everything before the first "/" can be "free-case". After that, you are dealing with filesystem names, which in *nix and some other OSs are case-sensitive. The addressee's name before the "@" in an email address should also be case-free. I'd be inclined to follow what is given. But the computer name is case-free. |

| 343691 | 2005-04-11 05:58:00 | It should be OK. Altho cant say I've seen people who use caps in their email addresses. I wouldnt do the password in caps and normal. As the password would be case sensitive. |

| 343693 | 2005-04-11 06:09:00 | It should be OK. Altho cant say I've seen people who use caps in their email addresses. I have come across lots of people have their email addresses like JohnSmith@isp.co.nz which is why I asked the question last year. |

| 343694 | 2005-04-11 06:12:00 | Most people have the same email name as their login name. To use it for logging in, it is case sensitive. However email addresses aren't. For instance if you choose JoeBlogGs as your username, you have to type it that way to log in but for email you can type it how you like - whatever combo of caps and non-cps you like. | pctek (84) | ||
