Hello!
I’m interested in exploring alternative IMAP servers that have good
support for internationalised email, such as support for SMTPUTF8, IDN
mail domains, Unicode local-part, etc. etc.
If you used to use Dovecot, and found an alternative that does such
things well, I would very much like to hear it.
"good support" is a rather fuzzy qualifier. in general, it's sketchy. here's a comparison list / sort on "IDN/UTF8", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_mail_servers Many of those^ are 'integrated mail servers' -- whether their IMAP backends can be split off and do/don't support I18N, dunno. What dovecot does/doesn't have planned, I dunno either; no bug tracker to peruse, and digging through this list is not really helpful. I've not yet seen a stmt of support for https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc6855.txt mail I18N's not a frequent need in my world (OTOH, for content search, it is); where I _do_ have the stringent requirement, for just a couple of very large installs, CommunigatePro runs. Runs well, but comes with significant costs. You might also take a look at Jakarta Mail (formerly JavaMail) Its IMAP https://eclipse-ee4j.github.io/mail/docs/api/com/sun/mail/imap/package-summary.html claims support for rfc6855.
