Research direction

Start at the Email Hosting page and trace how domain names are accepted, stored, and displayed; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Check how the app currently handles IDN and Punycode values, then determine how to cover conversion in both directions. Done means IDNs can be entered and stored as Punycode, and existing Punycode domains display as IDNs.

Description

enhancement P3-medium

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Runbox 6 currently does not support internationalized domain names (IDN) on the Email Hosting page.

It is however possible to translate such a domain name, e.g. blåbærsyltetøy.no, to Punycode and then insert it.

Describe the solution you'd like

The Email Hosting page could translate IDNs to Punycode and then insert the result into the database.

Similarly, existing Punycode IDNs in the database could be translated to their IDN equivalents for proper display in the user interface.
