Hai,

I was registered a internationalized domain name (IDN) in Malayalam (like ഡൊമെയ്ൻ.ഭാരതം) and configured an email service (address like 123@ഡൊമെയ്ൻ.ഭാരതം) with that domain. I want to add this email account in Thinderbird. But this kind of email address not accepting in Thunderbird. Is support available for email address internationalization (EAI) in Thunderbird.

Seems like this has been an issue for many years, with no resolution that I'm aware of:
