completely SMTPUTF8 + IMAP4rev2 Support (RFC 6531 + RFC 9051)

[Ótzï]

Currently, no EAI email addresses (such as äöü@test.local) can be set up in Thunderbird, whether on a desktop or mobile device. Entering punycode is not a solution either, because EAI (SMTPUTF8) means native UTF-8, and there are no intermediate encodings such as punycode for IDN.

So the request is to support the setup of EAI email addresses with SMTPUTF8 addresses (So non-ASCII characters BEFORE the @).

I hereby request full support for IMAP4rev2 (RFC 9051) and SMTPUTF8 (RFC 6531) in Thunderbird, whether on desktop or mobile.

(The email addresses in the images do not exist, but that doesn't matter because you can't even get to the settings where ports/mail servers etc. are entered).
