Mis-spelling of email...?

If an email is spelt, for example, David@eircom.net instead of david@eircom.net, will it still arrive? Thanks. D.

Technically, it's up to the mail host (eircom in this case). Their mail-server could be set up to be case-sensitive, treating "David@" and "david@" as different addresses. However, it would be pretty rare for a host to do that. The only ones who can tell you for sure are eircom
