Original Issue: https://api.github.com/repos/zendframework/zendframework/issues/7656 User: @akosphp Created On: 2016-01-02T14:42:06Z Updated At: 2016-02-13T15:34:17Z Body The isValid method doesn't support unicode characters in the header value. This is a problem for example when unicode email address is given. (eg.: üñîçøðé@example.com - which is a valid email address)

Unicode email addresses cause Zend\Mail\Header\Exception\RuntimeException in vendor\zendframework\zend-mail\src\Header\HeaderValue.php:115 Exception message: Invalid header value detected.

Read https://docs.zendframework.com/zend-mail/message/intro/ and just use correct encoding.

you can't when using IMAP / POP3 this fails as soon you are trying to iterate over inbox

a workaround is not to Iterate over imap / pop3 (built in) and do a for loop, this way you can use try / catch per message and ignore the "invalid" ones.

   $mail = new Imap([
        'host'     => '',
        'user'     => '',
        'password' => '',
        'ssl'      => 'ssl',
    ]);

    for ($index = 1; $index <= $mail->countMessages(); $index++) {
        try {
            $messageStorage = $mail->getMessage($index);
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            //
        }
     }
