Either email addresses are case insensitive, or they aren't. Everything on t'interwebs agrees that they are.
Except Microsoft account verification...
I'm old fashioned, and I like my email with initial caps: "P***.G***@S***-M***.com" and that's how I always enter it.
Microsoft accepts that, and because emails aren't case sensitive, they lower case it when they store it as your Windows account name.
Except when they ask you to verify it...
That doesn't match the alternate email associated with your account. The correct email starts with "p***".
Even worse, when you do lowercase it they effectively confirm that you got it right, while pretending they aren't!
If p***.g***@s***-m***.com matches the email address on your account, we'll send you a code.
Consistency. Don'tcha just love it?

You may be old fashioned, but it has NEVER been standard for emails to have initial caps! Just saying!

Why so? All my E-Mail Adresses have a capital letter at their beginning.

Definately.
They don't "look right" without it - they are proper names, after all!

Funnily enough, I looked you up in my Outlook [or should that be outlook?] [C|c]ontacts and it shows your e-mail as p***.g***

But you're not using it as an email address. You're using it as a username. Usernames are case sensitive. It's really very simple. You are the one that's inconsistent. Microsoft is being a shining example of truth and light!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Yes, they are.

Who do you think writes all the code for Microsoft? (QAers perhaps?).

Odd - perhaps the latest version of .NET doesn't have a case-insensitive string comparison method? I'd not have gotten rid of it.
With only one exception, I've never had UID or email as case-sensitive items. Passwords, only, for that. I don't even recall the exception at this point. It's just a bug (see paragraph 1) which will no doubt be hailed as a security feature.

Really? 
Yes, Email Addresses Are Case Sensitive.
...
The domain name part of an email address is case insensitive. The local mailbox part, however, is case sensitive.

From memory the part after the @ is not case sensitive, but the part before the @ is case sensitive, but it is provider-specific, so might not be case sensitive.
Still a big WTF for Microsoft there though.

I wish there's a way we can enforce devs to type the argument name and pass value , like
void DoProc(someobjects obj1,2,false,true,false,UpdatesLIVEDB_MisuseOfThisFlagcanGetYouFired:true);

How about?
class DoProcArgs
{
public bool UpdatesLIVEDB_MisuseOfThisFlagcanGetYouFired;
public int Response = 42;
public string Blahblahblah = "Meh";
}
void DoProc(DoProcArgs args);

Honestly one of my favourite ways to put arguments in functions as it allows maximum flexibility.
