Locking this as you already have two threads in Technical Support regarding this issue, and I have given you instruction on what to do there:

The first link will solve your problem.

And yes, Bitcoin addresses ARE case-sensitive. If you type the wrong address, your funds will be sent elsewhere. Please copy and paste Bitcoin addresses to ensure that it is always correct.

Taken from the Bitcoin wiki:

Quote

Addresses are case sensitive and exact

Bitcoin addresses are case-sensitive. Bitcoin addresses should be copied and pasted using the computer's clipboard wherever possible. If you hand-key a Bitcoin address, and each character is not transcribed exactly - including capitalization - the incorrect address will most likely be rejected by the Bitcoin software. You will have to check your entry and try again.

The probability that a mistyped address is accepted as being valid is 1 in 2 to the power of 32, that is, approximately 1 in 4.29 billion.
