I don't recall if or how that was resolved when the internet was added, I kind of think that you had an internal email and an external email, so only one of George or George got to use that on the internet email.

I was at IBM in the late 90s, where I used both PROFS and Lotus Notes.  
I don't recall either being case sensitive.  I have never used Cisco e-mail.

I also used to have a personal CompuServe account and Telenet¹ when I 
was at Unitel.  IIRC, a CompuServe was two groups of numbers, separated 
by a comma.  I've forgotten what the address format on Telenet was.

1. Unitel was the Canadian provider of Telenet.
