I'm not really sure that's possible, i didn't honestly search in the RFC, check if the RFC allow accents on email address, i doubt, if it doesn't, you just can't, because any server will accept a non-compliant e-mail address Regards.

Though in certain cases it may be allowed: Internationalization examples The example addresses below would not be handled by RFC based servers, but are permitted by RFC Asked 12 years, 7 months ago. Active 5 years, 3 months ago.

Better yet check RFC and more detail here. Definitely see BinaryZebra's comment further below in this thread. RFC is now obsolete. Its successor, RFC, is the current standard no longer experimental. Unstructured text, used in header fields like "Subject:" or "Content-description:". Any construct that uses atoms, including but not limited to the local parts of addresses and Message-IDs. This includes addresses in the "for" clauses of "Received:" header fields. Quoted strings.
