Gmail and Yandex now support fully Cyrillic e-mail

[Dimkin]

Gmail and Yandex now support the full Cyrillic e-mail addresses . Unlike other services, receiving letters from the Cyrillic domain zone, but with Latin names, e-mail clients Yandex and Google can accept emails from addresses like «москва@москва.рф».

Good news!

Here's a thread from 2014 about Gmail's support of unicode (not just Cyrillic) email addresses:
http://www.idnforums.com/forums/34735-gmail-now-supports-unicode@idn-idn-addresses-mostly.html
It points to another post (http://www.idnforums.com/forums/34047-thunderbird-v-24-supports-idn-email-addresses.html#post217276) that goes into exhaustive technical details about unicode email addresses, and why it will be a long time before they are adopted.

The new article about Yandex notes that, like Gmail, Yandex can receive email from addresses such as «москва@москва.рф», but, like Gmail, you cannot register non-ascii addresses at Yandex. You cannot register москва@яндекс.рф, for instance. The reason is that most mail servers around the world would not accept email from that address.

But at least there's some progress.

Great News! Do they support all IDN email address or only russian?

It would be 100% UTF-8 support, I would think.

I'm waiting for Debian stable to move up to Postfix v3, which has it built in.
