Unable to send Email addresses with accented characters

Answered


Posted Nov 03, 2020

It is possible to have email addresses with accented characters, typical Scandinavian and German ones include å,ä and ö. As of now, we can't send emails from Zendesk to an email address that has one of these characters in it. I would assume that the use of these characters in email addresses will grow. Is this something that you will look into?

We need the ability to use accented characters in emails on user accounts. This is becoming an increasing bigger problem in our org.

Hi Andy, 
 
At the moment, we don't currently have resources available outlining acceptable characters. And as I have confirmed, accented characters are still not supported up to this day. Due to the potential impact of those characters on other systems, they are disallowed. i hope this clear the matter.

Brett Bowser, As an international org, we would naturally have a number of email address in our end user list with accented characters. Is there a solution? by changing the character from ø to O, will the email get there? This is a huge concern for us and not the first time we have seen this.

Hi Brett Bowser  

it is frustrating to have to explain to a customer that we cannot use his e-mail address because of an accented character like ö. When will the problem be solved?
