CSV import to group using de-dupe scheme fails to add “WP User” addresses

    When I did the CVS import, any user found to already be in the wp_users table was simply dropped. It’s great that the WP User addresses did not get added as Mailster-only users, but the expectation was that the resulting group would be comprised of all of the supplied e-mails, whether “WP User” already or added as “Mailster” users.

    I had to go back and painstakingly find all the dropped users and add them to the group one by one.

    I had two different CSV imports to two different groups.
    There were some e-mails in common.

    Looking at the results, I see that if the same e-mail was present in both imports, the Mailster user was added twice.

    There was even one case where the e-mail should have matched an existing WP User and the user was added as a Mailster user anyway.

    Re: the dupes that did get past the filter, the name was not an exact match. My expectation is that the e-mail address should be the discerning property w.r.t. deduplication and the name should be inconsequential.
    And to restate the opening concern, it is great the the matching WP User addresses were obviously identified, but I had the expectation that they would have been added to the list as WP Users rather than dropped/discarded from consideration.

    I think the problem may come from the fact that you have different case letters (lower case VS upper case). Could this be the issue?

    Checking the code I can assure you that the name does not play a role at all in the dups check.
    However the code is lacking an extra step to only compare the email in the same (lower) case. That will be fixed in the next release.

    And: the code is setup to still add recognized duplicates to the groups / lists as configured in the import. So that should work.

    Hi, Holger, thanks for this. It could well be about mixed case.

    I could easily convert the e-mails in the CSV to lower case, but not so easily convert the e-mails as they appear in the WP User’s table.

    I appreciate you looking into this and the indication that you will change the matching to be case-insensitive. Very much appreciated.
