Last time I’d tried this 10 years ago it was a mess, but I was hoping that things would have improved. So with the website working I thought I’d see how well email was handled. The domain displays with the accent correctly in all the browsers I’ve tried.

My new shiny domain name got setup with its SSL cert and a clean install of WordPress. Once I realised that it was mostly “fine”. Inputting the accented domain just threw a useless error about the domain’s format. Not until I switched to using the punycode.

No indication of this magical punycode stuff anywhere, is there?Īnd my own company’s emails about the order and its completion all, correctly, use the accented domain name, because it’s 2021 and software can handle this.īut when I went to add the domain to cPanel I couldn’t. Meanwhile the IEDR’s email about the domain name actually used the accent: This makes some things a little complicated as I discovered. So even though the whois query was against the domain with a fada the actual returned output was the punycode. Registry Billing ID: REDACTED FOR PRIVACY Registrar Abuse Contact Email: Abuse Contact Phone: +353.599183072 The output (trimmed for clarity): Domain Name: xn-michel-tta.ie So if I look at the whois output this is what I get: whois micheál.ie (the whois command ran from the command line) (The punycode being the most obvious one) It’s just a simple fact that a lot of software does not work well with IDNs or that it works, but requires you to see things that you really shoudn’t have to. It doesn’t matter that they shouldn’t or that X issue has been known for years. Well a lot of software has issues with internationalised domain names.
I registered the Irish language version of my first name. And if you’re a software developers there’s a load of libraries and tools you can use to handle it (and hopefully hide it from mere mortals!)īut unless you speak fluent IDN, and I definitely don’t, it’s not easy to remember that xn-michel-tta.ieĪre one and the same. Software likes stuff to be in plain text (ASCII) so punycode is the “bridge” between the two worlds. It uniquely and reversibly transforms a Unicode string into an ASCII string. Punycode is a simple and efficient transfer encoding syntax designed for use with Internationalized Domain Names in Applications (IDNA). Software, like your browser, can interpret the second string of characters, which is called punycode, and display the accented domain name. In order for that string of characters to exist in the DNS the accented internationalised version of the domain name has to be encoded into something that the DNS system can handle. That probably took less than 5 minutes, as I’ve already got other. I just searched for the domain I wanted and registered it. Registering the domain name with an accent, in my case micheál.ie, was easy.
The user experience wasn’t great and while I’m happy (mostly) with the results it shouldn’t be this hard. And I found some of this really annoying and unnecessarily complicated. While my formal educational background might not be technical I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit of a DNS geek. I’ve worked with internet technologies for over a quarter of a century (that makes me sound old!). What actually works? How hard is it to get it to work? So, yes you can register way more domain names using accents and even different scripts these days. In fact you can register many domain names using Cyrillic scripts and many others that are not “standard” Latin. This can be done under IMAP Email tab.Nowadays you can register most domain names with an accent. In the same window you can also change your Server information and Login Information. , Advanced and enter INBOX into the ROOT folder path field. Go back to File , then Options, in Advanced menu, click Send/Receive.Īfter that click Edit. and choose email account from the left menu.
NB! When using IMAP protocol, in order to synchronize the IMAP folders enter INBOX in capital letters to Root folder path field. Click OK and You are done setting up an e-mail account in Outlook. When all settings are correct Account setup is complete message is shown. Picture shows IMAP settings, but for POP3, please use POP3 settings.ĥ. When all server information is filled in click Connect button. POP3 outgoing server SSL port 465 or 587.
