create email account with æ ø å

Hello. We have bought a DK-domaine, containing the scandinavien letter ø, (oe). When we try to set up an email account on ipad iphone, it will not work. Is it really possible, that Apple still dont support these 3 letters in the email set up? Hope to hear from someone Thank you

iPhone 6s, iOS 12.0.1

Hello. Thank you for testing it.

When i write/creating the e-mail accont on iPad/iPhone, i can write the letter Ø, but when "all" the typing is done, and i Press activate, It's thinking for a long time, and then it mostly writes... "Can not send e-mails, the username or password is incorrect" or "There is missing a password for the e-mail, go to Acconts and type password" but everything is as it should be.

To respond to the second reply (also Thanks to you), i have tried to convert the domaine adress to this xn-..., and it kind of worked, but my iPad kept closing down after a few seconds, everytime i opend e-mail app. So i deleted it again.

Im not a clever one, for anything regarding computers internet Soft and hardware, and all other things, that uses powercords,,,, but our serverprovider is someone called Unoeuro .. com, and i Can open the webmail on laptop, so it is working.

I just think, i Will keep forward sending from the '...@...Ø...dk' to its namesister '...@...OE...dk'

Thanks both of you, for taking the time, to answer me.

It seems odd they would not have enabled idn there by now. This was from several years ago


Special character international address IDN


You might try the punycode version

What email server are you using? Any alternatives you could try?
