Its unlikely to be anything to do with case sensitivity.   In general email addresses are not case sensitive.

I thought 4.2.e was O.K.   Maybe not.

In the meanwhile I found the reason: There is an attribute for each user that stores the ID of the last sent notification. Somehow (don't ask me why) many (older) users had an entry that was far above the highest current notification, maybe due to some cleanups in the past. So Alfresco thought, that even new notifications were already sent.
So I dropped all records (delete from alf_node_properties where qname_id = 381) and now it works again.
