Description
Description:
It is not possible to change upper or lower case letters in a user's e-mail address. This will be blocked with the error "is already in use :(".
This is certainly a cosmetic problem, but a change should still be possible.
Steps to reproduce:
- Try to change a user's e-mail address e.g. from "Lower.Case@domain.tld" to "lower.case@domain.tld".
Expected behavior:
It should be possible to change the mail address.
Actual behavior:
The change is prevented with the error "is already in use :(".

Research direction
Reproduce the reported update from "Lower.Case@domain.tld" to "lower.case@domain.tld" on the stated Rocket.Chat setup, then trace the email uniqueness check from the user email update entry point. Done means case-only changes are accepted while genuinely duplicate email addresses still produce the existing error.
