I don't know the difference.
yes, it is on PEAR too, but with a big sentence "NOT MANTAINED", i try to put it into lib/ dir of Roundcube source, but cannot get it working. Now i'm playing with the phlymail, put it into Roundcube's lib/ directory, and modifying check_mail() and playing with it (not using roundcube itself, just a test.php file) inserting good UTF-8 email strings and viewing if it results or no. > > Reading some info in http://idn.icann.org/ i found that at the low level > > the IDN domains are only ascii, it is something like the > > internationalized version of the domain is only for "writing" and "be > > read" by de user, but the core logic of the MUA works only in ascii. > > If this is correct, the IDN support consists only in accept the user to > > write other UTF-8 characters and to translate them to Punycode before > > the core logic of roundcube sees it; in the other hand, whenever a mail > > is viewed, it must pass to the inverse process so the user will see the > > IDN domain in his local alphabet.

Even the SQL Database must be UTF-8, and not ISO-8859-1 / -15, so if applying that big change, even need to re-codify the existing databases already implemented, i think it will be a big change for existing users. In the other hand, as I am a newby (at least on programming PHP at this level) and do not get it on the entire RC's code yet (some help? where to look?), i tought that making only such a translation will need less changes to understand saludos!
