Following on from recent discussions in the UA-Discuss list, I’d like to build a Good Practice Guide for Mailbox Administrators so these administrators can see some of the issues that they should consider.   Topics might include:

• Transformation of mailbox name from non-ascii to an ascii alias when encountering a non-EAI ready MTA
• How to display IDNs
• How to display non-ASCII mailbox names
• How to address fuzzy matching when receiving non-exact match emails
• How to manage case folding
• How to manage variants in mailbox names.   Are korero@ and kōrero@ going to the same mailbox?  
• Do you allow mixing of scripts in mailbox names?   If yes, sometimes, what are the criteria.
• And more

Your suggestions are most welcome.
