That seems overly pedantic.  If an MUA can send mail to bøb at exámple.com, that's phase 1.
If it can handle the mailbox for bøb at exámple.com, and send and receive mail for that address,
that's phase 2.

Like I said, it seems unlikely that to do one but not the other, but
it's different code in different places in the MUA, so I would want to
check and see what they did.
