The SquirrelMail configuration has a setting for forcing all logins to
lower case letters only. Check "config/conf.pl" or "config/*.php".

There might be plugins to help you with the "user" vs "user@..."
problem, but unfortunately the plugin pages are down right now.

Also note that the IMAP server might be configured to reject "user" or
"user@...". Check you IMAP server documentation.

Sincerely,
Fredrik
