These users? You couldn't even email them from Outlook until just last year, 2016! How many users in the world would have accepted having an email account that no one using Exchange servers could handle? That cuts you (the user) off from hundreds of millions of people on corporate networks.
- mijoharas 9y ago> That cuts you (the user) off from hundreds of millions of people on corporate networks. Arguably an advantage.
- true_religion 9y agoI suppose... until you apply for a job and can't receive a favorable response because they're one of the many Fortune 5000 companies that use Exchange/Outlook somewhere in their infrastructure.
- flai 9y agoNot every one of my email-addresses is used in a business-context.
- tyingq 9y agoIt's not just Exchange. RFC6530 support is pretty spotty. Fastmail, which is pretty popular here, only allows a-z0-9_ in usernames. I don't see a "250 SMTPUTF8" reply when I connect to their server and EHLO. So, it's likely they don't support it either.
- yladiz 9y agoI use Fastmail and have sent myself a testing email with non-ASCII emails, like with Korean or Chinese characters. So 안녕@mydomain works with Fastmail.
- tyingq 9y agoSo apparently if you host your own domain with them they do? However, they don't appear to support it for username@fastmail.com. Either for sign up, or for live delivery. http://imgur.com/a/Otf4f http://imgur.com/a/Otf4f (see both images) Try sending to 안녕@mydomain from a gmail account...it looks like they may not be supporting SMTPUTF8 correctly. Which could result in sending-to-yourself working, but not from an outside source.
