You will find that this feature already exists. Check the config.php 
file for this section:
/**
 * Some IMAP servers allow a username (like 'bob') to log in if they use
 * uppercase in their name (like 'Bob' or 'BOB'). This creates extra
 * preference files.  Toggling this option to true will transparently
 * change all usernames to lowercase.
 */
global $force_username_lowercase;
$force_username_lowercase = false;

/**

This is the code from src/redirect.php where the name is forced to lower 
case.
  /* Verify that username and password are correct. */
    if ($force_username_lowercase) {
        $login_username = strtolower($login_username);
    }


good luck,
