[UA-EAI] [Ext] Quick Guide to EAI

Hello Mark / Don

We have addressed this issue in a different way .

While a user is getting an email account on  IDN domain, he is also given an Alias email ID on english , which is attached to his IDN Email (EAI) address. This english email address can be used to even login into webmail and if any email sent to that email, it automatically lands into EAI mailbox. This was required for the basic reason as lots of clients/websites still do not support EAI and even can't be used to signup in facebook or twitter. So now user can give his alias on facebook and still use his EAI mailbox without using any other email account. This even allows user to have multiple aliases.

For example my EAI id is. अजय@डाटा.भारत and alias is ajay at xgenplus.com , you can send email to any of the ID, email reaches to same mailbox retaining headers. 

Happy to share more info if required.

Best regards

Ajay
