      THE PROBLEM

      Bug Part 1

      Email addresses of format 'andré@blah.com' cannot be used with registered Jira users, validation on entry fails.

      Bug Part 2

      Email addresses of format 'andré@blah.com' fails:

      InternetAddress ia=new InternetAddress("andré@blah.com");

      Upgrading javamail will enable a wider range of customers to interact with JIRA.

      THE SOLUTION

      Jira 7.9.x still ships with Javamail v1.5.6, Javamail v1.6.0 specifically adds "Support for internationalized email addresses (RFC 6530/6531/6532)"

      CONTEXT

      Gmail has support RFC6530 since 2014.

       

      @note to Atlassian.  Yes, users won't ever see this or vote for it, that doesn't mean its not critical and something you should just 'not fix'...
