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 @).

(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).

That would prevent me from switching to Outlook in my company; I need full UTF-8 support in my company. We have a lot of non-ASCII addresses.
