Contacts: Fix Contact duplication by email casing variations
in progress

Fernando Sosa
When an email is written with different upper / lower case versions, the contact is duplicated when the email is received on the platform. It would be great if we can either:
- Have the system convert all emails to lowercase automatically.
- Have the system disregard the email address casing.

Hi Fernando Sosa, thanks for your feedback, this is definitely something that we would want to improve on. Just want to understand further on your use case here when you say the contact is duplicated, do you mean you are able to add new contact with the same email (but different upper/lower case)?

Shi Hui: when an email is received from the same contact using the same email address but different upper/lower casing a new CONTACT ID is created, forcing to merge different versions of the same email address.
