Directory find in small and capitals
I've a very trivial thing bothering me. I'm rather new in scripting so I'll keep asking stupid questions.
Here is small script that does backup of mails.
---
for i in `cat /maildir.dir`
do
echo $i
maildir=`echo $i|sed 's@^./usr/@@'`
for j in $i/*
do
[ -d "$j/backup" ] && {
st="`find $j/backup -name "[0-9]*" -type f -print|head -1|wc -l`"
.....
It searches for mails in backup folder of all the users. Once in a while a user will use capital letters ('BACKUP' or 'Backup') in the name. How do I make sure that all sorts of such names must be included in my backup thingy?

maildirkw
MAILDIRKW(1) Double Precision, Inc. MAILDIRKW(1) NAME
maildirkw - set maildir message keywords SYNOPSIS
maildirkw [-c] [-l] [-a] [-r] {maildir} {message} [keyword...] maildirkw [-c] {-L} {maildir} DESCRIPTION
maildirkw modifies the Courier IMAP server compatible maildir message keywords. This command allows an easy way to set or clear custom IMAP keywords associated with a particular message. maildir is the pathname to a maildir, or a maildir folder. The -L option lists all messages in the maildir, and their associated keywords. message specified which message's keywords should be set. One or more keywords specifies a list of keywords to be set for this message. The specified list of keywords replaces any keywords presently set for the message, unless the -a or the -r option is specified. The -a option adds the keyword to existing keywords that are set for message. The -r removes keywords from message, leaving any remaining keywords set in place. The -l should be used if the Courier IMAP server's configuration file has the IMAP_USELOCKS option set. -l enables a compatible locking mechanism to update the message's keywords. -c enables case-sensitive keywords. IMAP keywords are normally case insensitive. -c needs to be used if the SMAP1[1] protocol extension is used, which uses case sensitive keywords. SEE ALSO
