Javamail problem with ñ characters in mail addresses

Question

I\'m having problems with parse method when usising ñ character:

essage.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, internetAddress.parse(\"somedir.         


        

Answer 1

To send emails to addresses with non printable characters (like ñ), you must encode the email address using UTF-8.

Accented characters were not allowed by original RFC 5322 Internet Message Format. But since, RFC 6532 (Internationalized Email Headers) offered a way to use international characters in email addresses.
