 Is the chance of collision introduced by that strtolower() acceptable in
 this application?

besides that it was corrected - the strtolower needs to be inside the md5 - which collissions? you want a mail-address matching independent of y...@example.com or y...@example.com, otherwise a spammer would trick you with mybadadr...@example.com

Collisions based on losing the case of the base64 string. I'm aware that the email address should be case-insensitive. I responded to that before fully catching up, so I hadn't seen the correction.
