Hosting Services with DBCS-Enabled Webmail?

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."

    [sigh] internalization is one of those things that we developers only start to add on when our code becomes widely popular. If only the programming techniques for adding i18n support were more straightforward.

  2. ISP that supports double-byte webmail....? by malachid69 · · Score: 3, Insightful
    All ISPs should be capable of supporting Unicode email. For example, a quick google shows that SquirrelMail, WebMail, et cetera all support it.

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