e-mail address case sensitive

I have an e-mail address like

Name.surname@server.xx but if you send me a mail with address

name.surname@server.xx I can't see it on Mac Mail, but I can see it if I go direct to the server.

I have had to set up two mail accounts, one with the upper case address and a second account with the lower case.

This then presents another problem in that only one address will be picked up by the all inbox tab in Mail. The second account has to be searched by drilling down through the inbox tabs.

How do I switch off "Hide my Email" on Mac? I had switched this feature off in the past but it has reinstated itself in the last few days, with the consequence that Mail defaults to "Hide my email" and I can only select that or my main Apple ID email address; not the aliases I prefer to use. Worse, it also no longer allows me to use any saved email signatures, and it keeps throwing out all sorts of other random warnings and pop ups asking me to confirm things or reset outgoing mailbox etc. When I confirm the account the email stays in "outbox" for ages not going anywhere, and then somehow for no apparent reason decides to send it anyway despite previously saying that it could not be sent. It takes me close to half an hour to get one message sent between all of these complications. It would be quicker to handwrite and personally deliver the mail at this rate. I don't know what's happened, it's literally unworkable now. I'm not sure if this is due to an update of some sort, I can't see anything that could have caused it. I'm not impressed. Apple seems to be rapidly declining in functionality.

Mac Mail 13.4. How to enter new email address, without autocomplete? When entering a new email with a common prefix, for example helpdesk@, Mail will autocomplete this address to a previously found domain. Typing the entire address containing a new domain does not get out of this autocomplete, and will replace the new domain with the autocompleted domain, even if finished with a comma. Space or tab replaces the typed email with the autocompleted email. Delete removes the address completely. "Remove email" does the same. How can you force enter a new email address, without Mail interfering and changing it to something it already knows?
