Hosting Services with DBCS-Enabled Webmail? 33
Dan asks: "I'm looking for an ISP that has double-byte capable Web mail. I have a small personal Web site where I blog on the Japanese game industry. The hosting at my current provider has been perfectly reliable, but I can't send or receive Japanese e-mail through their Web mail system, which can be a problem when I'm on the road. I'd prefer not to switch to a Japan-based hosting service because that would mean a Japanese UI for the Webmail, and I want to be able to give addresses to my friends that don't read Japanese. Does anyone know of a U.S. hosting service that might fill my needs? Thanks for all suggestions."

Is it a 7-bit byte versus 8-bit byte? I don't how the protocol needs to know anything about your e-mails content.

More precisely, convert the text from the charset the email is stored in to the one negociated with the web browser (most likely, UTF8). The problem is that some mail client *cough*Eudora*cough* may not specify a correct charset for the body, or fail to encode headers

I even made an error, Japanese is ISO-2022, oopsie. That's what I get from going off the top of my head, there are too many damn codes in this world to remember them all with precision.

Likelyhood is that it just needs configured... For example, look under "Text Encoding" here [jonoke.com].

utf-8 support works only if you use utf-8 translation or if your utf-8 symbols does not contain four bytes or more.

Is that just a bug in SquirrelMail or in the mbstring support of php?

squirrelmail does not use mbstring to read utf-8. mbstring/recode/iconv decoding is not perfect and depends on specific php modules. SquirrelMail should be able to run without those php modules.
SquirrelMail uses own functions that convert utf-8 to html codes. developers just need time to go nuts, play with calculator and create complex cycle that works with 4 byte symbols.
two and three bytes decoding works in most of the cases. I t

You can do it w/ Yahoo (POP too) (Score:1, Insightful)
I use yahoo for web-mail when at work. I have them pull it off of my pop server, and they have an option to leave it on the pop server too. So when I go home, all of my e-mail still shows up in my mail client.... Also, you can change the "reply-to" header to anything that you want.... It is a great solution that won't cause you to cha
